For this author, the keys to successful treatment are defining the nature of the breast asymmetry, respecting the patient's aesthetic goals, and performing a well thought out surgical plan. She asks patients which breast is preferred (not always the larger) and establishes empathy and trust by presenting pre- and postoperative photos of other patients treated for similar problems.
