This patient is a 23 year old who does not like the size of her breasts. At her first consultation, she said that she felt ther her breasts were too small for her frame and that she wanted to look better in clothes. Her desire was simply to have cleavage while not being so big that her breasts interfere with daily activity. She likes to run and work out regularly.

One thing that all patients have to realize is that the larger the implant that is placed, the more difficulties patients can have with regular activities. Running is a prime example.

There are a number of misconceptions that patient's have regarding breast augmentation. The first and foremost is that the initial choice of size is determined by the width of a patient's breast. A wider implant chan be chosen for larger, more round breasts; however, if too wide an implant is chosen, it can interefere with arm motion with running. This look is the so-called, "Pamela Anderson" look.

Dr. Bain is happy to discuss various options of sizes and shapes for his patient's needs. His desire for breast aurgmention is to give his patients great looking breasts as well as breasts that are functional as well.

This patient wanted to have a completely hidden incision. She did not want to have the incision on her breast. An underarm incision was chosen and the implants were placed endoscopically. She was concerned because another doctor removed a lesion on her abdomen and left a scar that was darker than the rest of her skin. You can see it if you look closely at her abdomen. You can see how much nicer the scar in her armpit is and how well it healed.
