What Is Achieved Through Breast Augmentation?

Patients with small breasts can have a subtle or significant increase in breast size using implants. Breast augmentation can help create more attractive curves and enhance the silhouette of your body. The size of your implants is decided through a process called intraoperative sizing. The exact size of your implants, which gives your breasts the fullness and shape you desire, is chosen during your surgery. This helps ensure natural, proportionate results.

Having poorly shaped breasts is an issue for many women with smaller breasts. They often present as pointed or triangular-shaped breasts. In other cases, the breasts lack definition or cleavage. With breast enhancement, low, moderate, or or high implant projections are available to help reshape the breasts for a more attractive appearance and to provide more eye-catching definition

Small breasts can be the result of nature, or volume loss can develop after pregnancy or during the aging process. Enlarging the breasts can provide curves that balance your body, allowing for clothing, swimsuits and bras to fit better. Feeling comfortable with your body can boost your self-esteem. Enhanced confidence can improve other aspects of your life by increasing your self-confidence and positivity.

Immediately following your Breast Enhancement surgery, you will feel groggy from the anesthesia. Your new breasts might cause an uncomfortable pressure on your chest. You will experience bruising, redness, and swelling between two and four weeks, after which the effects should begin to subside.

In the initial weeks following your surgery, you should avoid strenuous physical activities, especially anything that applies pressure to the chest. Depending on the level of activity, most patients find they can return to work within two weeks. You may be able to resume your regular exercise routine after three to four weeks with your doctor’s permission.

Miami Plastic Surgeon Dr. Stephan Baker utilizes the periareolar or breast fold incision to place most implants. This technique limits the scar to being just around the colored transition between the areola and the skin or hidden in the breast fold. In most cases, the scarring is not visible. Most scarring is likely to fade over time.

The exact cost of breast augmentation surgery depends on a number of variables. Implant type, facility/anesthesia fees, the number of follow-up visits all impact cost, as well as geographic location. Dr. Stephan Baker will provide you with a custom estimate during your consultation at their Miami office.

There may be some postoperative pain, but many of our Breast Augmentation Miami patients say it lasts only three to four days following their procedure. All pain is controlled using surgeon-prescribed oral medication.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation Miami

Will I lose sensitivity in my nipples following my breast augmentation surgery?

Some of our Breast Augmentation Miami patients report decreased sensitivity in their nipples for a few weeks after their surgery, but nipple sensation will eventually return. Only patients with anatomically oversized breasts implant that stretch their sensory nerves may have long-term decreased nipple sensation.

Will breast implants affect my ability to breastfeed?

If the breasts implant is suitably sized, it is unlikely to have any interference with milk production. Some women are unable to breastfeed regardless of implants. Also, due to skin laxity concerns, some women wait until after they have had children to undergo breast augmentation to reduce the possibility of breast sagging later in life.

Will breast implants affect my mammogram?

Most studies support the fact that breast implants, especially when placed behind the pectoral muscle, have little effect on the results of a mammogram. It is important to let your doctor know if you have breast implants when going in for a mammogram to ensure you a have a mammographer who is experienced with breasts implant. Patients with a family history of breast cancer should undergo a mammogram before breast augmentation surgery. Women over the age of 40 (with or without breast implants) should have routine mammograms.

Can breast implants cause breast cancer?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that breast implants cause breast cancer. Women with implants have the same chance of developing cancer as the general population (around 10 percent). Patients with a family history of breast cancer or severe fibrocystic breast disease might consider an evaluation by a breast oncologist before augmentation.

Can breast implants correct breast asymmetry?

Breast asymmetry occurs when breasts are uneven, when one is larger than the other or has a different shape. Breasts asymmetry is common and can present itself as subtle or significant differences. Utilizing two differently sized implants can help improve breasts asymmetry but it is important to remember that no two breasts are ever exactly the same.
