Before-and-After photos of breast augmentation patients

14150 Pregnancy and breast-feeding strongly impacted the breasts as well as the abdomen of this woman from the Cleveland area. She requested breast implants via the navel, and during the same anesthesia, a tummytuck:
Dr Dowden performed the transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) procedure for her (330 ml right and 325 ml left) and also a full tummytuck with skin tightening as well as cinching the muscles to help narrow her waist and flatten her abdomen to a more youthful contour. Eventually the tummytuck scars fade to quite pale. (44420)

12029 This woman came from Indiana to have Dr Dowden place her implants via the navel (transumbilical - "TUBA"). To give her the size she wanted the implant volumes were both 250ml. To give her the look that she wanted the implants were in front of the muscle, round shape. Preoperatively her breasts were quite uneven, with the left lower than the right:
The TUBA method allows for very precise placement of the implants, making it a good choice for women whose breasts are uneven. The technique Dr Dowden used was part of the Rapid Recovery Method, through which she was able to resume her normal activities very quickly. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(05034)

12030 This woman from the Cleveland area chose to have her implants placed over the muscle via the navel (transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA) in order to get the look she wanted and a rapid recovery. Each saline implant was 400ml volume:
One advantage of the TUBA method is that even very large implants can be placed without worry about stressing a breast incision. The technique which Dr Dowden used was part of the Rapid Recovery Method, through which she was able to resume her normal activities very quickly. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(10558)

12611 This woman from Pennsylvania wanted her breasts only slightly larger, basically she just wanted to regain what she had lost through pregnancy. She also wanted to have her excess hanging abdominal skin removed, preferably at the same time:
Dr Dowden performed her tummytuck, and at the same operation placed breast implants - under the muscle 260cc each - through her navel ("TUBA") to avoid other scars. (Note that the term "transabdominal" is incorrect, as there is no entry inside the abdomen at all; the correct term is "transumbilical".) At the time of her after photo, her scars were still red, but faded over the following year. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(41723)

12613 This woman from Central Ohio had long wanted breast implants, but her circumstances just were not quite right for many years, and then all of a sudden everything fell into place. Dr Dowden placed her implants via the navel (transumbilical breast augmentation or "TUBA") in front of the muscle, 450 ml both sides:
She experienced the Rapid Recovery for which the TUBA procedure is known, and was only off work for a few days. She now has exactly the shape and proportions of which she had been dreaming for so long. She has the assurance of knowing that her implant manufacturer's warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(24898)

12031 This woman from Cleveland chose to have her saline-filled implants placed under the muscle, through small scars in each under-breast crease. Dr Dowden performed that for her under general anesthesia:
Both implants were the smooth round type, and 285ml volume gave her the size she wanted. (12932)

13418 This woman from Georgia sought Dr Dowden to have him insert her implants via her navel (transumbilical breast augmentation - "TUBA"). To give her the breast size she wanted, the implant volumes were both 510 ml. To give her the look and shape that she wanted the implants had to be round shape, in front of the muscle. Preoperatively her breasts were slightly uneven, with the left a little lower than the right:
The TUBA method allows for very precise positioning of the implants, making it a good choice for women whose breasts are uneven. The TUBA technique Dr Dowden used is part of the Rapid Recovery Method, and therefore she was able to return home to Georgia the next day and to resume her normal activities very quickly. (Some people are not aware that the manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(34184)

12036 This patient from a suburb of Cleveland chose silicone gel implants, and to get the look she liked she wanted them placed in front of the muscle, through breast-crease incisions:
Both implants were 397ml volume to give her the size she desired. Dr Dowden performed this procedure as out-patient surgery under general anesthesia. (40298)

13698 This woman came from Nevada to have Dr Dowden insert saline implants through her navel ( TUBA). For the size she wanted, the implants were 610 right and 610 left; to achieve the shape she sought required a prepectoral round implant:
The TUBA technique is part of the Rapid Recovery method that Dr Dowden used for her, and she was able to fly home soon after the procedure. It is important to note that the manufacturer's warranties are fully valid after the TUBA procedure. (34435)

12039 This woman from northeastern Ohio chose saline implants, and to give her the kind of shape she liked, she chose to have them placed in front of the muscle. In order to minimize her down time she chose to have them via the navel incision (transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA) The implant volumes for the bra-size she wanted were 320 on her right and 330 on her left:
Her left breast crease had been quite a bit higher than her right, which had made bra-wearing difficult for her, and the technique permitted that to be corrected. The transumbilical technique Dr Dowden used was part of the Rapid Recovery Method. (Note that the manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(45387)

12037 This woman from a Cleveland suburb chose to have silicone-gel implants. The volume needed to give her the size she desired was 390 ml on each side. To get the kind of look she wanted, they were placed under the muscle. She chose to have her incision in each underarm (axillary):
The photos show well that if the nipples are set widely apart before implants, they will still be wide afterwards, a point Dr Dowden always discusses with his patients. (45670)

12038 This woman from northwest Ohio chose to have her saline implants placed in front of the muscle, via the navel (transumbilical breast augmentation = TUBA), to give her the look that she wanted. In order to achieve the size she desired, as well as to correct her asymmetry, her implants were 570ml on her right and 550ml on her left:
Not only does the TUBA method permit precise implant positioning, but it also allows very accurate volume adjustment to compensate for unequal breasts. The technique used by Dr Dowden was part of the Rapid Recovery Method, through which she was able to resume her normal activities very quickly. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(45214)

13441 This woman had travelled from China to have TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation) performed by Dr Dowden. She had tried pills and creams, and even the bulky breast-pump system, without any real effect. To get the breast size she wanted, the correct size implants were 390 right and 380 left, and to achieve the visual contour and shape she sought, that called for subpectoral placement of a round implant. As the implants were to be inserted through the navel, they were saline:
The TUBA technique is well suited to the Rapid Recovery method that Dr Dowden used for her, and she was able to fly home to China soon after the procedure. The After photo was taken very soon after surgery, so her breast skin still looks somewhat shiny, a temporary appearance. (35457)

12316 This woman from a Cleveland suburb sought a specific look and size, which were best achieved through smooth round implants about 620ml volume placed in front of her muscle. To make her recovery as quick as possible, she chose to have saline implants inserted through a tiny incision inside her navel, the transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA. Dr Dowden performed this for her, and finalized her implants at 630 ml on her right side and 600 ml on her left:
Since her procedure was part of the Rapid Recovery Method, she was back to her normal activities very quickly. (It is important to note that the manufacturer's implant warranties are completely valid after the transumbilical method.)(33992)

12353 This young woman from northeast Ohio had never developed to her desired size and she consulted Dr Dowden for breast augmentation. She decided upon implants about 240 ml volume, in front of the muscle, in order to achieve a specific look and size, and requested the saline implants be placed through her navel, the transumbilical breast augmentation:
Dr Dowden performed the TUBA procedure for her, using 245 ml on her right and 235 ml on her left. As this was done with the Rapid Recovery Method, she was able to resume her activities very quickly. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method, a fact some people are not aware of.)(43131)

13093 This patient from northern Pennsylvania had requested that her saline implants be placed underneath the muscle, through an underarm (transaxillary) incision:
Dr Dowden achieved her requested breast size by using 360ml on her right and 340ml on her left. Note that, as shown in the photos, if a patient's nipples are close together before operation, they will still be close together after augmentation. (40311)

12608 Although this woman from the northeastern part of Ohio disliked the fact that her left nipple was located in a high position ever since she was a child, what bothered her the most was the small breast size, made worse by a pregnancy. She was well aware of her stretch marks, and understood that little could be done for those. She requested that Dr Dowden perform transumbilical breast augmentation (through her navel - called the "TUBA" method) using saline-filled implants under the muscle to give her the shape she desired, and 350cc each side to give her the desired breast size:
Even though it was not possible to relocate her high left nipple, her size is just what she wished for, and the stretch marks are actually a little less visible. (It is important to be aware that the manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(30910)

12727 After pregnancy, nursing, and weight loss, this woman from central Ohio had lost a great amount of breast tissue. She preferred a distinctly defined upper breast line, and requested saline implants in front of the muscle, through the navel:
Dr Dowden performed the transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) procedure for her, using 355ml on her right and 330ml on her left to give her the breast size she had selected. The TUBA procedure is part of the Rapid Recovery technique, and she was able to return to her normal activities very rapidly. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.)(32784)

13097 This woman from a Cleveland suburb had chosen to have saline implants, and wanted them placed under the muscle to achieve a certain look. To make her recovery as rapid as possible, she had requested her implants be inserted through a tiny incision in her navel. To achieve the size she desired, Dr Dowden placed 390ml on her right and 380ml on her left using the transumbilical breast augmentation technique ("TUBA"):
As the photo shows, the bottom edge of the left breast was lower than the right both before and after the procedure. The TUBA method is part of Dr Dowden's Rapid Recovery system, so she was able to quickly return to her normal activities. (Note that the manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.) (45298)

13419 Pregnancy, and breast-feeding take a real toll on the breasts, usually leaving the upper part deflated and flattened, with sagging of the lower part, as was the situation with this woman from the Cleveland area. She preferred a not very defined upper breast line, and requested saline implants in front of the muscle, through the navel. Dr Dowden performed the transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) procedure for her, using 330 ml on her right and 325 ml on her left to give her the breast size she had selected:
The TUBA procedure is part of the Rapid Recovery technique, and she was able to return to her normal activities very rapidly. (The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method, contrary to the misperception some people hold.)(44420)

16055 This woman came from New York to have Dr Dowden insert saline implants through her navel (TUBA). To give her the size she wanted, her implants were 550 right and 550 left and achieving the shape she wanted required round implants in front of the muscle.
The TUBA technique is part of the Rapid Recovery method that Dr Dowden used for her, and she was able to return home soon after the procedure. It is important to note that the manufacturer's warranties are fully valid after the TUBA procedure. (34265)

16057 This woman from central Ohio had a specific breast shape in mind, which required a teardrop shaped ("anatomical") implant under the muscle. To give her the bra-size she wanted required 370 ml size each side. Dr Dowden inserted the saline implants through a small incision in each underarm.
It is worth noting that if the breasts are wide apart before operation, they will still be wide apart afterwards as shown here, especially with the "anatomical" implants which are narrower than the round ones. (22901)

16058 This woman came from California to have Dr Dowden perform breast augmentation for her, with saline implants in front of the muscle through the navel (TUBA). She had enlarged greatly with pregnancy, then afterwards lost volume, leaving her breasts deflated-looking. She also was asymmetrical, with the right breast lower and larger than the left.
It was possible to even out the volume with 510ml on her right and 570ml on her left, but the nipples cannot be made even. The TUBA procedure is part of Dr Dowden's Rapid Recovery Technique, and she was able to return home within a few days. It should be noted that the TUBA method does not void the implant warranty. (34605)

20124 This woman from northeast Ohio requested that Dr Dowden use saline implants. The volume needed to give her the size she desired was 240 ml on each side. To get the kind of look she wanted, the implants were placed under the muscle. She chose to have her incision just above the breast creases.
The photos show well that her left nipple was lower than her right before implants, and therefore they will continue to be so. (22325)

20126 This woman from Florida chose to have Dr Dowden place her implants via the navel (TUBA), and in order to get the look and shape she wanted, she chose under the muscle. Each saline implant was 530ml volume. One advantage of the TUBA method is that even very large implants can be placed without worry about stressing a breast incision.
The technique which Dr Dowden used was part of the Rapid Recovery Method, through which she was able to resume her normal activities very quickly. The manufacturer's implant warranties are fully valid after the transumbilical method.(35619)
