This mammograph represents the mean measurements for the patients undergoing breast augmentation. The right breast is depicted before surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 10 years after surgery. The lower pole drops 2 cm 1 year after surgery and another 0.5 cm at 10 years. The nipple position remains unchanged. Both breast projection and upper pole projection are significantly increased (2 cm and 1 cm, respectively).
