Breast Augmentation

Your first step is to meet one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. You’ll sit together and talk about what you want, and see what’s possible for you to achieve. We know it might feel a little weird to talk about your breasts but trust us, we’ve seen and heard it all! Our goal is to help you look and feel amazing.

Next, we’ll show you various photos of some of our other patients to give you an idea of what you can expect. Then, the fun part. You can try out the different implant sizes and see how you’d look before having surgery.

We’ll also chat about your lifestyle and what size would work best for you and your day-to-day life.

Lastly, we’ll give you a breakdown of the costs so you can plan ahead.

Before your surgery, we’ll have a special pre-op appointment. Think of it as your backstage pass to understanding what to expect. We’ll cover everything from potential risks to your breast implant surgery recovery plan.

Believe it or not, breast augmentation recovery is a breeze. Most people are surprised at how quickly they bounce back. If you have a desk job, you could be back in action in about a week. It’s important to rest and you should avoid intense workouts for a few weeks. Your Miami plastic surgeon at The Method will give you the green light when you’re ready to hit the gym again.

You’ll need someone to take you home after surgery and help you out for the first couple of days. You’ll need to wear a special bra or elastic band around the clock for a while. Your surgeon will tell you exactly how to care for your incisions, and we’ll remove your stitches within a week or two.

For the first few days, take it easy. Your body needs time to heal. There may be some bleeding and bruising and you’ll likely feel slightly sore, but this should improve in a week or so. Remember, don’t rush back to your normal routine. Your surgeon will inform you when it’s safe to start exercising again.

Breast implants aren’t designed to last forever, but they can last for a long time. Most women can enjoy their new look for about 10 years, but some lucky ladies keep their implants in good shape for 20 years or even more, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons says. Like anything, however, they can wear out over time.

There are a few issues to watch out for:

• Rupture – This means the implant breaks. Saline implants deflate, but silicone ones might not show any signs.
• Hardening – Sometimes scar tissue builds up around the implant, causing it to feel hard and sore. This is called capsular contracture.
• Rippling – When you can see or feel wrinkles in your breasts.
• Sagging – Gravity still works its magic, even with implants.

Don’t worry too much, though. Regular check-ups after the first five years of having breast implants and listening to your body will help you catch any issues early on. You can always talk to your doctor about a refresh if you want a change.

Both saline and silicone implants are considered safe. Before being approved, they are thoroughly tested and most people who get them have no problems. Like any surgery, though, there are some risks involved.

Risks

It’s important to know that while breast augmentation is generally safe, there are some possible side effects. Things like swelling, bruising, and minimal discomfort are quite common. But before your Miami breast implant surgery, we’ll also talk about less frequent issues, like changes in sensation or the formation of scar tissue around the implant (known as capsular contracture).

Your surgeon will tailor your pre-operative conversation based on your health history and surgery plan. We want to ensure you feel well-informed and confident before your surgery day.
