Breast Augmentation in Miami, FL

There are two main types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution, while silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel.

Choosing the right implant size is a personal decision that should be made in consultation with your plastic surgeon. Factors such as your body shape, breast size and shape, and lifestyle should be taken into account when deciding on the best size for you.

To properly prepare for surgery, it is important to avoid blood thinning medications, observe the prescribed fasting period, and clean the skin well with an antiseptic.

Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries risks such as bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Additionally, there are specific risks associated with breast implants, including capsular contracture, implant rupture, and changes in breast sensation.

Breast implants should not interfere with breastfeeding, but it is important to discuss any concerns with your plastic surgeon before undergoing the procedure.

During convalescence, approximately 10 days off work is recommended. You should sleep with your head elevated, allowing arm movements and lifting as tolerated by the patient. The dressing is removed and it is possible to shower 48 hours after surgery, although bathing should be avoided during the first two or three postoperative weeks. It is essential to wear a bra for at least one week, or more if necessary. In addition, the implants will be massaged and scar treatment with silicone cream will be performed as indicated. Physical exercise can be resumed between two and four weeks, depending on the patient's tolerance.
