Breast Augmentation in Miami, FL

Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation works well for a wide range of women, but a few factors make the biggest difference in your results and your recovery. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are in good general health and a non-smoker, or willing to stop smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery
• Have realistic expectations about the size, shape and proportion you can achieve
• Have fully developed breasts
• Are unhappy with the volume, symmetry or shape of your breasts — whether from genetics, weight change, pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Want a size that fits your frame rather than the largest implant available

During your consultation, we evaluate your anatomy, skin quality and goals to recommend the implant type, size and technique best suited to you. If augmentation alone will not achieve your goals — for example, if there is significant sagging — we may also recommend a breast lift or fat transfer as an alternative or complement.

How the procedure works

Every breast augmentation involves three key decisions that shape your final result, and we walk through each one with you before surgery:

• Implant type: Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and inserted empty, allowing a smaller incision; they can feel slightly firmer and may ripple in thin patients. Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel that feels closer to natural breast tissue, but require a slightly longer incision.
• Placement: Submuscular placement puts the implant partially under the chest muscle, giving more soft-tissue coverage and a lower risk of visible rippling. Subglandular placement sits the implant above the muscle, over the breast tissue, which can mean a shorter recovery and less post-operative discomfort.
• Incision: The most common options are inframammary (in the fold beneath the breast), periareolar (around the edge of the areola) and transaxillary (in the armpit). Your surgeon recommends the incision that best balances scar visibility with the implant type and size you choose.

Breast augmentation is performed as outpatient surgery under general anesthesia and typically takes 1 to 2 hours. Most patients go home the same day.

Breast augmentation recovery timeline

Recovery is gradual and predictable when you know what to expect. This is the typical timeline for our Miami patients:

• Week 1: You wear a supportive compression bra, and some swelling, tightness and mild discomfort are normal. Avoid lifting anything heavier than a few pounds and sleep with your upper body slightly elevated.
• Weeks 2–3: Most patients return to desk work and light daily activities.
• Weeks 4–6: Light exercise can resume, and most of the initial swelling has resolved by this point.
• Months 3–6: Your final result appears as the implants settle into place and any remaining swelling fully resolves.

You will have scheduled follow-up visits with our team throughout your recovery to check healing, positioning and comfort.

Cost & financing

The cost of breast augmentation depends on the type of implant you choose, the technique and incision used, and the complexity of your surgery — it varies according to each patient's individual evaluation. At your consultation you will receive an exact, all-inclusive quote covering the surgeon, anesthesia, the surgical facility and your follow-up visits.

Financing is available through CareCredit, Alphaeon and Cherry, so you can split the cost of your breast augmentation into manageable monthly payments.
