Before and After Gallery
Results from Dr. Schwartz's Practice
Gallery Coming Soon
Our comprehensive before-and-after gallery showcasing Dr. Schwartz's surgical results is currently being prepared. We're working with our patients to securely share their stories and outcomes so you can see the range of procedures and aesthetic results we achieve.
The gallery will be organized by procedure type, allowing you to explore results relevant to your situation. Whether you're considering lumpectomy, mastectomy, reconstruction, revision, or another procedure, you'll be able to see examples of what's possible.
Procedure Categories Coming Soon
When the gallery launches, you'll be able to browse results organized by procedure. Here are the categories we'll feature:
Oncoplastic Reduction
Lumpectomy with oncoplastic reduction for larger tumor removals, preserving natural breast appearance with hidden scars.
Mastectomy + Reconstruction
Immediate mastectomy with implant, flap, or hybrid reconstruction achieving natural appearance in a single operation.
Lumpectomy
Lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer with excellent cosmetic outcomes and minimal scarring.
Flat Closure
Mastectomy without reconstruction, with aesthetic closure techniques creating a smooth, symmetrical chest.
Goldilocks Procedure
Innovative oncoplastic technique balancing complete cancer removal with natural breast preservation and shape.
Revision Surgery
Refinement and optimization of prior reconstructions to improve appearance and symmetry.
Patient Stories
Beyond images, we'll feature patient stories sharing their experience with surgery, recovery, and how they feel about their results. Hearing from other patients about their journey can help you make informed decisions about your own care.
These real stories cover topics like:
- What to expect during consultations and surgery
- Recovery timeline and returning to normal activities
- Emotional and physical outcomes
- Advice for newly diagnosed patients
- How results have improved confidence and quality of life

What Gallery Photos Show
Before-and-after photos showcase surgical results, but they're one piece of the bigger picture. Here's what gallery photos show—and don't show.
What Photos Show
- Breast shape, contour, and symmetry
- Scar placement and appearance
- Natural appearance of reconstruction
- Overall aesthetic results
What Photos Don't Show
- Sensation and feel of the reconstructed breast
- Recovery timeline and experience
- Long-term changes over months and years
- Patient's emotional experience and satisfaction
- How results may look with clothing on (most daily experience)
Photos are a valuable tool for understanding surgical technique and aesthetic potential. During your consultation, Dr. Schwartz will discuss results in the context of your specific situation, expectations, and goals.
Every Patient Is Unique
Results vary based on anatomy, cancer characteristics, reconstruction method, and individual healing. Gallery photos show examples, but your results will be tailored to your unique body and goals.
During your consultation, Dr. Schwartz will discuss:
- What's realistically achievable based on your anatomy and cancer location
- How your surgical plan is customized for your situation
- How your results will compare to your opposite breast for symmetry
- Recovery timeline specific to your procedure
- Long-term changes you might expect
Dr. Schwartz doesn't use "cookie-cutter" approaches. Every surgery is planned and executed with your individual anatomy, preferences, and goals in mind.
