Dr. Samir Rao Gallery

This patient had a breast reduction to reduce the size of her breasts.

These images showcase the results of a mastopexy procedure with a peri-areolar (donut) lift, designed to elevate and reshape the breasts while preserving natural contour. The “before” photos highlight ptosis (sagging) and changes in nipple position, while the “after” images demonstrate improved breast symmetry, lifted profile, and a rejuvenated aesthetic appearance.

The peri-areolar technique minimizes scarring by focusing incisions around the areola, making it ideal for patients seeking subtle yet effective breast lifting with enhanced shape and projection. Individual results may vary, depending on anatomy and surgical plan.

This gallery showcases the transformation of a patient who underwent breast reconstruction following mastectomy. The “before” images reflect the patient’s appearance prior to reconstruction, while the “after” images demonstrate restored breast shape, improved symmetry, and a more natural contour tailored to the patient’s body.

Breast reconstruction is a highly personalized procedure designed to help patients regain confidence and feel more comfortable in their bodies after breast cancer treatment or preventive surgery. Results vary based on individual anatomy, surgical approach, and healing process. The outcomes shown represent one patient’s experience and are not a guarantee of similar results for others.

Photos are shared with patient consent and are intended for educational purposes.

These before and after photos showcase the transformative results of a Brazilian Butt Lift, a procedure designed to enhance the natural shape, volume, and contour of the buttocks using the patient’s own fat.

In the before images, the patient presented with limited projection and uneven lower-body contours. The after images highlight a fuller, rounder, and more lifted appearance, with improved waist-to-hip definition and smoother overall proportions. Fat was carefully harvested from areas such as the abdomen and flanks, then strategically transferred to create a balanced, natural-looking enhancement tailored to the patient’s body frame.

Results demonstrate not only increased volume, but also enhanced symmetry and an overall more sculpted silhouette. Individual results may vary, and these images represent outcomes after appropriate healing time.

These before-and-after photos showcase the results of a breast reduction procedure performed to improve comfort, balance, and overall quality of life. The “before” images illustrate the patient’s initial breast size and proportion, while the “after” images demonstrate a more balanced contour with reduced volume and improved symmetry.

Following surgery, the breasts appear lighter, more proportionate to the patient’s frame, and positioned for a natural-looking shape. Many patients choose breast reduction to help relieve physical discomfort—such as neck, shoulder, or back strain—and to make everyday activities and clothing fit more comfortably.

Results vary by individual based on anatomy and surgical plan. Photos are shared with patient consent and represent typical outcomes rather than a guarantee of results.

This 41-year-old patient underwent breast augmentation using 445cc implants placed in the subfascial plane. The “before” photos show the patient’s natural breast contour prior to surgery, while the “after” images highlight the enhanced volume, improved shape, and balanced proportions achieved through the procedure. The subfascial placement offers a natural look with a smooth transition at the upper pole, preserving muscle function and minimizing animation deformity. Post-operative photos were taken after full healing, showcasing the final aesthetic outcome tailored to the patient’s body and goals.

These before-and-after images showcase a patient four months following a Mommy Makeover designed to restore balance and contour after pregnancy. The procedure included a breast reduction to achieve a more proportionate, lifted appearance, along with an abdominoplasty to tighten the abdomen and improve core contour. Liposuction was performed on the flanks as well as the inner and outer thighs to further refine the silhouette. At four months post-operative, the patient demonstrates improved body proportions, a smoother abdominal profile, and enhanced overall contour, with results that continue to evolve as healing progresses.

These before-and-after images showcase the results of an augmentation mastopexy, a procedure that combines breast lift surgery with breast augmentation. This approach is designed to restore a more elevated breast position while also enhancing volume and shape.

In the “before” photos, patients may present with breast sagging, volume loss, or asymmetry, often due to factors such as weight changes, genetics, or natural development. The “after” photos demonstrate improved breast contour, a higher nipple position, and a fuller, more balanced appearance while maintaining natural proportions.

Individual results vary based on anatomy, surgical technique, and healing. These images are provided for educational purposes to help patients understand potential outcomes of an augmentation mastopexy procedure.

These before-and-after photos showcase the results of arm liposuction in a 60-year-old patient. The procedure was performed to reduce localized fat deposits along the upper arms, helping to create a more contoured and streamlined appearance. Post-treatment images demonstrate improved arm definition and a smoother overall profile, while maintaining a natural look appropriate for the patient’s age. Individual results vary based on anatomy, skin quality, and healing response.

This patient was self-conscious about her buttocks for many years. She desired more fullness and projection, as well as an improvement in the overall shape and lateral appearance of her natural buttocks.  She was particularly bothering by the sagging in the lower portion of her buttocks.

Dr. Rao customized a solution for her which included a modified Brazilian Butt Lift that transferred fat to her buttocks in conjunction with excision of excess skin in the lower portion of her buttocks.

This gallery showcases the before and after of a patient undergoing breast augmentation surgery, highlighting key stages from consultation to recovery. Witness the transformation through pre-operative planning, surgical techniques, and post-operative results, illustrating the artistry and precision involved in enhancing breast volume and symmetry. Designed to restore confidence and achieve aesthetic goals, breast augmentation combines advanced medical expertise with personalized patient care. Explore the detailed process and outcomes of this life-changing procedure

These before-and-after images highlight the reconstructive journey of a 52-year-old patient who underwent a staged approach to breast surgery. The process began with a breast reduction to improve breast size and shape, followed by nipple-sparing mastectomies. Final reconstruction was completed using DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction, which uses the patient’s own abdominal tissue to create a natural-looking breast mound.

The after photos demonstrate restored breast volume, improved symmetry, and preservation of the nipple–areola complex, with results that reflect a natural contour and soft appearance. This case illustrates how a carefully planned, multi-step surgical approach can support both oncologic safety and aesthetic outcomes while using the patient’s own tissue for reconstruction.
