Before & after

Real results. Real consent.

A clinically respectful gallery of authentic patient photographs, shown only with documented permission.

Educational diagrams

How breast anatomy and surgery relate

Side-view teaching diagrams showing the ribs, pectoralis major muscle, skin envelope, inframammary fold (IMF) and nipple position. They are schematic drawings, not photographs and not patient results. Dashed line: the starting contour.

Grading breast ptosis (sagging)

Four side-view diagrams of breast ptosis grades: pseudoptosis, grade 1 mild, grade 2 moderate and grade 3 severe, with the nipple position relative to the inframammary fold
Ptosis is graded by where the nipple sits relative to the fold. Pseudoptosis: nipple at or above the fold, with tissue hanging below it. Grade 1: nipple at the fold. Grade 2: nipple below the fold but above the lowest point of the breast. Grade 3: nipple at the lowest point, pointing downward.

What each operation aims to change

Before and after side-view diagram. Breast lift (mastopexy), grade 2 to 3 ptosis
Breast lift (mastopexy), grade 2 to 3 ptosis. The nipple is moved up to the centre of the breast, excess skin is removed and the lower pole is tightened. Volume stays about the same.
Before and after side-view diagram. Augmentation for small, flat-upper-pole breasts
Augmentation for small, flat-upper-pole breasts. An implant placed behind the pectoralis (dual plane) adds volume and upper-pole fullness.
Before and after side-view diagram. Reduction for large, heavy breasts with ptosis
Reduction for large, heavy breasts with ptosis. Gland, fat and skin are removed and the nipple is moved higher, giving a smaller, lighter and higher breast.
Before and after side-view diagram. Lift with augmentation for sagging with volume loss
Lift with augmentation for sagging with volume loss. The implant restores volume while the lift repositions the nipple and removes extra skin.

Where an implant sits

Three side-view diagrams of implant planes: subglandular, dual plane and submuscular, showing the pectoralis major muscle position
Subglandular: in front of the muscle, behind the gland. Dual plane: the upper implant is under the pectoralis, the lower part is under the gland. Submuscular: fully under the muscle. The best plane depends on your tissue, goals and the implant chosen, and is decided at consultation.

Educational illustration only. Individual outcomes vary and depend on anatomy, technique and healing. Your surgeon will explain what is realistic for you.

Our standards

What you will see.

  • Only authentic photographs of real patients, with documented consent for this use.
  • Consistent lighting, angle and framing, with no filters or body-altering edits.
  • The procedure and relevant case information where the patient has approved it.
  • A clear note that individual results vary.
  • Clinical photographs kept visually separate from brand illustrations, so art is never mistaken for outcomes.

Your questions.
Your goals.
Your consultation.

A consultation is a conversation: your goals, your anatomy, your options and the honest trade-offs. Booking one is not booking surgery.
