Breast Augmentation Surgery
The decision to undergo breast augmentation cosmetic surgery is a very personal one. A patient should only arrive at this decision after understanding as much about the procedure as she can.
Women seeking breast augmentation surgery may find answers to many questions on the surgeon’s website. But the best source of information in an individual case is a thorough personal consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon.
During the pre-op consultation, the surgeon will show breast enhancement before and after photographs to the patient to assist them in understanding the possible outcomes of the surgical procedure.
Envy Aesthetic Center, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marco Gonzalez, provides breast implants to patients in El Paso, TX, and surrounding locations.
What are Breast Augmentation Before and After Pictures?
Breast augmentation ‘before and after’ photos refer to a pair or group of pictures of past patients who have received the same procedure with effective results.
These images are taken before the procedure and after the enhancement surgery at a time when the post-operative inflammation and bruising have resolved, and the complete results of the procedure are apparent.
The surgeon will attain these images with the patient’s consent and display them to prospective patients in a judicious manner. Additionally, the surgeon will keep the patient’s identity private, as per standard protocol.
Advantages
When undergoing any surgical procedure that will alter their overall body shape, patients are understandably concerned. The surgeon can show breast augmentation before and after pictures to provide a new patient with reassurance on whether it is an appropriate procedure for them capable of achieving their body-related aesthetic desires.
Some patients may require only limited enhancement with a plastic surgery procedure, such as is possible with the breast augmentation using fat transfer technique. Yet other patients may need a traditional breast implant cosmetic surgery combined with a breast lift or a tummy tuck.
Regardless of the case, the patient can make a well-considered choice after seeing before and after images.
Combining Images with Text
New patients may benefit if descriptive text detailing the procedure, the reasons for which it was undertaken, and how it addressed the patient’s unique needs accompanies breast augmentation before and after photos.
The surgeon can elucidate the journey of a previous patient with clear, succinct, and concise descriptions. Such text can form a vital part of before and after photo galleries as patients connect better with images while stories allow them to recall the associated details more accurately.
Sharing Your Pictures
Surgeons may share pictures digitally in the below-mentioned ways:
- Photo galleries on the practice website
- Developing an image portfolio to display to new patients
- Augmenting blog posts to offer new patients visual proof of procedure outcomes
- Using images on social media sites to optimize social media posts.
In case of posting on social media platforms, it is important to use discretion due to the public nature of these sites.
A detailed before and after photo gallery can be an educational and promotional tool for the surgeon and their practice. It is an avenue to showcase their skills and expertise while informing new patients about complex cosmetic surgeries such as breast enhancement.
