Breast Augmentation, Miami

Breast augmentation is also commonly referred to as a ‘boob job’ or augmentation mammoplasty and is a surgery to increase the breast’s size or improve the shape, and is done under general anesthetic.

For some women, breast augmentation is a way to feel more confident, while for others, it is performed to rebuild the breast for various conditions.

Surgery

The surgeon will make an incision and inserting implants into “pockets” made behind the breasts to make them larger and improve their shape. However, if there isn’t enough breast skin and tissue to cover the implant, your surgeon will probably recommend placing the implant behind the pectoral muscle.

Surgery can:

  • Enhance your body contour
  • Reconstruct your breast after a previous breast surgery
  • Improve your breast size after having children
  • Balance a difference in breast size.

Breast implants come in different sizes and shapes. Your doctor will help you choose the size you should opt for depending on your body size. Once the procedure is over, you will usually be given a support bra to wear for a while.

Here are a few psychological benefits that have been reported following the procedure:

  • Increased self-confidence
  • Being able to wear new/fitted clothing
  • Feeling more feminine
  • Body balance, feeling your breasts are more in proportion with your body.
  • Typically, breast augmentation surgery takes around an hour to an hour and a half and is more often than not successful. Your surgeon will be able to discuss the various types of implants available, for example, silicone gel (soft) and silicone gel (hard), and saline.

    In very rare cases, there can be complications. Therefore, it is always a good idea o discuss risk factors with your doctor before opting for this type of surgery. One complication that has been reported is numbness in the nipple, which can last anything from six weeks to six months. Another one is swelling following the procedure, and that can also last for weeks.

    After the procedure is done, with time, the breasts will become perky and sit naturally, and any scars you have from the surgery will start to fade away.
