When you are considering breast augmentation surgery, your surgeon will probably suggest that you take before and after photos. Your surgeon will probably take the pictures in his office for clinical and promotional purposes, and will usually provide you with copies of the pictures he takes. However, you will probably want to take some less clinical pictures to document the process and crystallize in your mind what you want done to your breasts and what you got done to them.

Taking before and after breast augmentation photos can be tricky business; mostly because of the dilemma of how to develop photos of yourself topless. The last thing you want, particularly if you are uncomfortable with the appearance of your breasts, is for anyone in the world to be able to click onto some website and take a gander at your breasts. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to avoid or at least minimize the chances of your pictures being seen by uninvited eyes.

The most obvious way to secure your bare breasted photos, both before and after augmentation, is to take the pictures with a digital camera. Of course, this way, anyone who picks up your camera can see the photos. Also, if you upload them to your computer, there is the danger that a security breach of your computer can send your breast augmentation photos all over the internet. The best option here is to take the pictures, upload them, print them and delete them.

You could, of course, take the pictures with a Polaroid camera. Of course, I can’t think of the last time I saw a Polaroid camera on the market, and I seem to remember the film being very, very expensive. Speaking of cameras that are fast disappearing from the market, you could just use an old-fashioned film camera – if you can find one. With a film camera, unless you happen to know your way around a dark room, you really do need to worry about who develops your pictures. Fortunately, there are developers who specialize in developing “private” photos. They are easy enough to search out on the internet.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to take before and after video of your breasts, if you have access to a video recorder, to check out how they move. Your old breasts will probably jiggle more than your new ones, so you may want to review and understand the movement. Also, you will need to carry yourself differently with breast implants than before, so document how move and what your posture is like in different situations.

There are many helpful reasons to take before and after breast augmentation photos, and there are many ways to keep those photos private. Don’t be afraid to take pictures for fear of keeping them secure, once the surgery is done and you are comparing before and after photos, you’ll be glad you did.
