This 40 something mother of three has always been small busted, except when she was nursing. She had thought about augmentation for over 10 years by the time she came in for a consultation. She had a bit of asymmetry, which is very common. I used a 340 cc gel implant on the left and a 370 cc gel implant on the right to even her up. She tells me that trips to the lingerie department are much more fun post augmentation.

This 38 year old mother of twins underwent breast augmentation with 400 cc implants. She went from an A to a DD cup which looks fine on her 5’11” frame. You can tell by her tan lines that she loves her breasts but has forgotten my anti-tanning lecture which I have to give many of my patients despite Seattle’s rainy climate. There are more evil tanning beds here than latte stands.

I rarely do cosmetic breast surgery in patients as young as this 17 year old honors student. She was healthy and happy with her body and life but was so tired of (her words), “looking like a 10 year old boy up top”. Her mother had benefited from breast and body contouring I did for her several years ago and was open to having her daughter undergo augmentation. 350 cc saline implants took her from a training bra to a C cup which fits her 5’10” frame very nicely. And she’s kept up her grades. Contrary to some misguided opinions, breast implants don’t make a woman stupid. She’s looking at an early admission program to the University of Washington.

This 45 year old dog trainer had always wanted a fuller bosom to balance her voluptuous hips. After she had successfully launched her children she felt ready to fulfill her wish. She had breast augmentation with saline implants (325 cc on the left, 350 cc on the right) and went from a B to a D cup. Midlife crisis? I don’t think so.

This 40 something University of Washington professor and mother of 3 experienced atrophy of her breasts after nursing. She underwent restoration of her breasts with 300 cc saline implants. I also excised the little fatty areas under her arms. This is sometimes a problem area for women and it can usually be addressed with liposuction or direct excision. The scar is usually very acceptable.

This 61 year old make-up artist decided to splurge on breast augmentation instead of a used Miata. She has silicone gel implants (330 cc) placed under her pectoral muscle and also had some liposuction of the fatty area near her underarm area. She is thrilled and her implants will likely outlast that used Miata by at least a decade. Good choice!

She developed capsular contracture on the left (difficult to appreciate in a photo) that made her left side firm and uncomfortable. She underwent capsulectomy which is a procedure where the excessively thick scar capsule is removed. She is now nice and soft on both sides. She now wears a C or D cup brassiere.

    Facial Procedures
