It is amazing how many before and after breast augmentation photos there are on the internet. It is also puzzling on why some these before and after breast augmentation photos would be on display. The results are poor or can not be interpreted because the before and after breast augmentation photos are not standardized and no accurate assessment is possible from the before and after breast augmentation photos.

The best way to view a woman's breast in before and after breast augmentation photos is to have the woman standing up with the woman's arms at her side in a relaxed position. This is a natural position that a woman would have during normal life. Breasts evaluated with the woman in this posture are more likely to resemble how they would look if she was standing in front of a mirror or in front of you. The photo should be taken at chest level at least showing her collar bones, her arms at her sides, and her belly button in all the images. This type of before and after breast augmentation photographic framing allows for consistent assessments to be made about the breast augmentation result.

Having the woman's before and after breast augmentation photos be taken from a higher or lower level can be deceiving. Having a woman's before and after breast augmentation photos be taken with her arms on her hips, or behind her, or arching her back/shoulders can also artificially show an enhancement result that does not exist. These types of photographic postures will tend to lift the nipples to a higher level than she may have. It is likely that some photos will have these variants occasionally but if a pattern is established with these irregularities then further thought may be recommended.

Always compare the same views when looking at results. The standard views of before and after breast augmentation photos are the frontal, both sides, and if available the 45 degree angle (oblique) view. It is also important to have the before and after breast augmentation photos be taken nearly the same distance from the camera. If you are looking at before and after breast augmentation photographs that have this degree of standardization, you can be assured that what you are looking at is an accurate reflection of the breast augmentation result. It the views are way off, taken at different levels and different angles then it is important to recognize these discrepencies.

It is also important to remember that individual results do vary from woman to woman.
