Miami Plastic Surgeon Reveals What You Need to Know About Breast Enlargement

If you’ve decided to enlarge your breasts through cosmetic surgery, then congratulations!  It takes plenty of courage and determination to take such an important step towards the body you’ve always dreamed about. It’s no secret that for many women, their breasts can often be their greatest source of confidence – and insecurity.  With common breast complaints ranging from uneven shapes, sagging, loss of firmness and lack of size, it’s no wonder that breast enlargement (also known as breast augmentation) has been the most popular cosmetic surgery in the US for over a decade. Despite the procedure’s popularity, many women still feel in the dark about what the breast enlargement process entails.  How do you know if it’s the right procedure for you?  How can you determine your ideal breast size and shape?  How long is the recovery process? And most importantly, how can you choose a plastic surgeon who’s renowned for unparalleled success with breast augmentation procedures? Simple: you can follow these steps to choose the ideal plastic surgery that will give you the confidence to show your new shape off!
  • First, it’s important for your plastic surgeon to understand the exact look that you want from your breast augmentation procedure.  While many people think that breast enlargement results in so-called “watermelon-shaped” breasts, the truth is that there is a variety of different shapes and sizes to choose from.  Based on your desired look, your plastic surgeon will help you to select the right saline or silicone implants.
  • For women who suffer from sagging breasts due to pregnancy or age, a breast lift can also be performed in conjunction with augmentation.  The restores the breasts’ natural shape and size, and can shave years off of a patient’s appearance.
  • The procedure itself will be performed in a plastic surgery outpatient center; however, some surgeons may choose to perform the procedure in a hospital.  General anesthesia will be used during the procedure, while a local anesthesia will be applied afterwards to reduce any pain and discomfort when the patient awakens.  During the procedure, the plastic surgeon will make incisions around the breast, under the armpit and around the nipple.  Once the silicone or saline implant has been inserted, the surgeon will stitch the breast area back up and wrap the breast area up in a bandage dressing.  The procedure itself takes approximately one to two hours, and the majority of patients leave the outpatient center after just a few hours.
  • You may experience swelling and bruising after the surgery; however, recovery time generally takes three to four weeks.  During this time, it’s best to sleep on your back, and avoid any rigorous activity until four weeks after the surgery.
Like with all surgeries, there are some risks associated with breast enlargement.  The right Miami plastic surgeon will be happy to talk you through these risks, and will examine your healthy history to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for the breast enlargement procedure. Now that you know what to expect from the breast enlargement procedure, isn’t it time you got the body confidence you deserve?
