Breast reduction is a major cosmetic surgery procedure to create more smaller and more proportionate size of the breasts. The patient should have a clear understanding of all aspects of breast reduction before she decides to go ahead with it. To assist the patient in this process, the surgeon will show breast reduction before and after photographs during the initial consultation.
A dedicated surgeon’s first priority will be to educate the patient about breast reduction and help her make a well-considered decision. The judicious Dr. Jacob Bloom is a board certified plastic surgeon providing breast reduction and other cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to patients in Chicago, Ill and surrounding communities.
What are Breast Reduction Before and After Photographs?
Before and after photographs in case of breast reduction plastic surgery refer to a set of pictures pertaining to an earlier patient who has undergone the same surgery with successful results. The set includes photographs taken prior to the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the healing is completed and full effects of breast reduction are visible.
The surgeon will take care to ensure that the pictures are obtained with the patient’s clear consent and presented before new patients in an appropriate and discreet manner. The patient’s identity may be kept undisclosed as necessary. The surgeon’s only purpose in this case is to use breast reduction before and after photos as a visual tool to explain its potential aesthetic benefits to new patients.
Advantages
For a major surgery such as breast reduction, a new patient will likely have some concerns about how it may affect her overall figure, and whether it will really meet her personal cosmetic goals. Some patients may only require minor reduction by way of fat liposuction, while others may need a full breast reduction and skin tightening surgery.
In some cases, breast reduction may have to be performed in conjunction with a breast lift to achieve the desired results. In all situations, the patient will be better placed to make the right choices when she has access to breast reduction before and after photos.
