Breast Before & After

These before-and-after images highlight the transformation achieved through augmentation mastopexy, a combined procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts while adding volume with implants. In the “before” photos, the patient presented with breast ptosis (sagging), loss of fullness in the upper pole, and asymmetry commonly seen after weight changes, aging, or pregnancy.

The “after” photos demonstrate a fuller, more youthful breast contour with improved projection and symmetry. The lift repositions the nipple-areolar complex to a more elevated, natural location, while the implants restore volume and create balanced proportions that complement the patient’s figure. The results reflect a refined shape that maintains a natural look tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy and goals.

These images are shared with the patient’s consent to help illustrate the typical enhancements possible with augmentation mastopexy. Individual results may vary.

This gallery highlights the natural, restorative results achieved through DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction. In these images, the patient’s “before” photos were taken prior to surgery, following their mastectomy. The “after” photos show the healed results once recovery was complete.

The DIEP flap technique uses the patient’s own abdominal tissue—while preserving the abdominal muscles—to create a soft, natural-feeling breast. These photos demonstrate the improvement in contour, symmetry, and overall breast shape made possible through this advanced microsurgical approach.

Every patient’s anatomy, healing process, and surgical plan are unique. The results displayed here are provided with the patient’s consent and are intended to help others understand the range of realistic outcomes that can be achieved with the DIEP flap procedure.

After seven previous breast surgeries complicated by infections and recurrent capsular contracture, this patient came to Dr. Rao seeking a stable, natural-looking result and long-term comfort. Her journey had been marked by chronic tightness, distortion, and repeated setbacks—each procedure leaving her discouraged and unsure if a successful outcome was still possible.

Under Dr. Rao’s care, she underwent a comprehensive revision augmentation, tailored to address the scar tissue, asymmetry, and damage caused by prior operations. The postoperative images show a soft, balanced, and restored breast shape, with improved symmetry and a more natural contour.

This case highlights Dr. Rao’s expertise in complex revision breast surgery and demonstrates how even the most challenging histories can achieve a renewed—and lasting—result with the right surgical plan.

This 55-year-old patient chose to undergo a mastopexy to address age-related changes in breast shape and position. In the before photos, natural skin laxity and a lower breast position are visible, reflecting common concerns many patients experience over time.

The after photos showcase the results following her breast lift procedure. The breasts appear more elevated, with improved contour and nipple positioning. The overall shape is firmer and more youthful while maintaining a natural, balanced look that complements her body proportions.

These images demonstrate how a mastopexy can restore breast symmetry, enhance projection, and rejuvenate the chest’s appearance, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable.

This gallery features the results of gynecomastia correction for a 31-year-old male patient. In the before images, excess glandular tissue and localized fat create the appearance of enlarged male breasts, a common condition that can affect confidence and comfort.

The after photos highlight the patient’s improved chest contour following surgical correction. Using a combination of tissue excision and targeted liposuction, the chest has been reshaped to achieve a flatter, more defined, and masculine profile. The postoperative images demonstrate enhanced symmetry, a more sculpted upper-body silhouette, and natural-looking results.

These photos were taken at consistent angles and lighting to accurately display the patient’s transformation and the surgical outcome.

This gallery showcases the transformative results of breast reduction surgery for a 24-year-old patient. The before images highlight the patient’s concerns regarding breast size, discomfort, and imbalance. The after photos demonstrate a more proportionate breast shape, improved symmetry, and a lighter, uplifted contour. These results reflect the patient’s goals for enhanced comfort, posture, and confidence following surgery.

This gallery highlights the results of a 56-year-old male patient who underwent surgical treatment for gynecomastia. In the before photos, excess glandular tissue and localized fullness can be seen in the chest area, contributing to a rounded contour.

The after images show a noticeable improvement in chest definition. Following the procedure, the patient achieved a flatter, more balanced, and masculine chest profile. The results reflect the reduction of excess tissue and improved symmetry, while maintaining a natural appearance that complements the patient’s overall physique.

These photos demonstrate the potential aesthetic outcomes of gynecomastia surgery and how it can enhance comfort, confidence, and body proportions for suitable candidates.

This patient underwent a mastopexy (breast lift) combined with the placement of 375cc silicone implants to restore youthful contour, volume, and elevation to the breasts. The “before” photos show moderate sagging and volume loss, common after weight fluctuations or pregnancy.

In the “after” images, you’ll notice a significant improvement in breast position, firmness, and upper pole fullness. The 375cc implants provided natural-looking enhancement, while the lift re-centered the nipple and reshaped the breast for a more youthful and balanced appearance.

This 52-year-old patient underwent subfascial breast augmentation using 365cc silicone implants to achieve a fuller, more rejuvenated breast contour while maintaining a natural look.

In the before photos, the patient presented with age-related volume loss, mild ptosis, and reduced upper-pole fullness. Her goal was to restore youthful shape and balanced proportions without an overly augmented appearance.

The after photos demonstrate a smooth, natural enhancement with improved cleavage, restored upper-pole volume, and a harmonious silhouette. The subfascial placement provides soft, natural transitions and long-lasting support while allowing the implants to integrate seamlessly with her existing breast tissue.

Overall, the results highlight a refreshed, elegant enhancement that aligns with the patient’s goals for subtle yet meaningful rejuvenation.

This gallery showcases the transformative results of a revision breast augmentation procedure. Each pair of images illustrates the patient’s journey, highlighting the refinement and enhancement achieved through the revision surgery. These cases demonstrate improvements in symmetry, contour, and overall aesthetic balance, providing a clear visual representation of the surgical outcomes.

This series presents before and after images of a 47-year-old patient who underwent a revision breast augmentation. The patient opted for anatomically shaped teardrop implants to achieve a more natural contour and improved upper pole slope. The revision addressed previous implant issues, enhancing symmetry, projection, and overall aesthetic balance while maintaining a proportionate, elegant silhouette.

Clinical Notes:

• Procedure: Revision augmentation with anatomically shaped (teardrop) implants

• Goals: Restore natural shape, improve symmetry, optimize upper pole fullness

• Outcome: Improved breast contour with a refined, natural appearance and harmonious proportions

These before-and-after images highlight the results of gynecomastia surgery in a male patient. The “Before” photos show excess breast tissue and a fuller chest appearance. The “After” photos reveal a more sculpted, masculine chest with improved contour and proportion. This transformation demonstrates how gynecomastia surgery can enhance physical appearance and confidence.
