Breast Augmentation Before and Afters
The breast augmentation before and afters on this page are of patients operated on at our practice in Edinburgh. You will get an idea of the different reasons why women seek breast augmentation and the unique issues that affect each patient. In all cases, we explain the reasons for surgery, the type of implant used, implant sizes, the position (pocket) of implant placement, and the change in breast size in terms of cup size.
275cc implants below the muscle
The patient, in her early 30s, sought breast augmentation to address lifelong concerns about her breast size and feeling self-conscious and limited in her clothing choices. She desired more volume and increased confidence, feeling that she was now mentally, financially, and time-wise prepared for surgery. She opted for 275cc Motiva RSF implants placed under the muscle (dual plane) to enhance her figure.
At the 6-month follow-up after her breast augmentation procedure, the patient reported high satisfaction with the results. She noted a significant increase in confidence and returned to work just 1.5 weeks post-surgery. During the examination, the outcome revealed an amazing, natural-looking result, with her scars settling nicely. The transformation has positively impacted her self-esteem and body image, fulfilling her goal of enhanced breast volume.
Above the muscle breast implants - 300cc moderate profile
The patient, in her early 30s and a mother of two, sought breast augmentation to address long-standing concerns about her breast size, feeling they were too small and out of proportion, which affected her confidence and clothing choices. After breastfeeding for a total of 4 years, she desired natural-looking breasts that would feel soft and proportionate.
Following a thorough consultation, she underwent a breast augmentation procedure using Motiva RSD-300cc implants, with subglandular pockets (above the muscle) being used to give more shape.
At the 6-month follow-up, the patient reported high satisfaction with the results, noting increased confidence and happiness with her new breast size. An examination confirmed an excellent outcome, and the patient appreciated the natural appearance of her breasts, which aligned well with her body proportions.
350cc high profile dual plane breast augmentation
This 18-year-old lady felt her breasts were underdeveloped and that she also had some minor asymmetry (her left was slightly smaller than her right). Her confidence was affected, and she felt restricted in her range of clothing.
After very careful consideration and two consultations, she proceeded to have a dual plane (under the muscle) breast augmentation procedure using round silicone 350cc extra high profile implants.
She had a great result at 6 months and, more importantly, a huge increase in her confidence.
Small volume breast augmentation
This lady in her mid-20s had always felt her breasts were small. This was affecting her confidence.
After consultation and consideration of all options, she decided to go ahead with a breast augmentation procedure. She wanted a natural look and opted for 275cc implants under the muscle. Results are at 6 months.

Tubular breast correction with breast implants
The patient below is in her early 20s. She has had a correction of a tubular breast deformity using 450cc round full profile implants. The implants have been placed in the subfascial (over the muscle) plane. Note the discolouration in the skin around the areolar is due to the use of protective tape (for the scars) when the patient was sunbathing. Scar protection from the sun is crucial in the first six months.
Subfascial breast augmentation
The patient below has had breast implants placed in the subfascial plane. This position is under the thin layer that lies over the muscle. This plane has some of the advantages of placing implants under the breast tissue and the muscle. It is a ‘halfway house’. It can provide better shape and at the same time offer some of the advantages of placing implants under the muscle – namely blunting the fullness of implants at the upper part of the breast. The patient is in her early 30s and has had no previous pregnancies. She has had 310cc medium profile implants inserted.
Dual plane anatomical implants
The patient below had 325cc anatomical (tear shaped) implants inserted in a dual plane pocket. Results are shown at six months.
Minor breast asymmetry and correction of inverted nipple
The breast implant photos below are of an 18-year-old lady who had a minor degree of breast asymmetry (her left breast larger than her right breast). Before surgery she was a 32B cup size and wished to have larger breasts. Additionally, she also had some nipple inversion affecting her right breast. She had subpectoral (under the muscle) breast implants (round full profile) with 265cc volume implant on her right and 240cc volume implant on her left. Her inverted nipple was also corrected.

She wanted her breasts to be lifted but also wished to have a significant increase in breast volume. A breast lift was performed (with an anchor-shaped scar), and approximately 90 grams of breast tissue was removed from the lower part of her breasts.
