A breast augmentation in Miami gives women a great way to look amazing and feel great about their figures once again. It can be used to create a larger breast size or to improve the symmetry of the breasts.
Breast augmentations are chosen for a variety of reasons. Some women opt for this procedure because they have always been dissatisfied with the natural size of their breasts. Others have lost breast volume because of their age, weight loss or even past pregnancies. Still others simply want a rounder and more enhanced breast shape.
This is a highly personal cosmetic procedure for women and one that should not be entered into lightly. The ideal candidate will have realistic expectations about what an augmentation can do for her.
Of course, candidates must also be in good health and should not be currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Women should already have fully formed breasts and want to enhance their breasts’ shape and size.
Today, there are many different types, sizes, shapes and styles of implants, making it confusing for women to choose the best one for them. The surgeon will be able to guide the individual’s choice by discussing some of the following options.
Breast implant sizes run from 125 cc to 1,200 cc with the base of each implant varying according to the overall size. You will choose a size based on the overall width of your natural breast and your desired cup size.
There are three major types of breast implants used today.
-Silicone offers a natural feel but must be examined every year to ensure it is not leaking.
-Saline can be used in women as young as 18 but can deflate if it leaks.
-Gummy bear implants use thicker gel than silicone and offer a more natural-looking teardrop shape.
Implants also come in three profiles.
-Low profile implants are good options for wider-chested women.
-Medium-profile implants provide a very natural look and shape.
-High-profile implants are best for women with very narrow chests.
Women can choose from two implant shapes.
-Round implants are the most common and produce a very spherical shape while improving fullness on the top of the breast.
-Teardrop implants create a more natural shape with increased fullness on the base of the breast.
Implants are either smooth or textured.
-Smooth implants feel soft and natural. Because they can move in the implant pocket, they may create some skin rippling.
-Textured implants adhere to the implant pocket wall so that they do not move.
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures these days. This procedure enhances the shape and size of the breasts, creating a fuller and more rounded shape while still looking quite natural.
Breast augmentation can also create improved symmetry between the size and shape of the hips and the breasts, creating a body shape that is more naturally pleasing to the eyes. These body changes can then increase one’s self-confidence.
Women considering breast augmentations should begin by making an appointment with a breast augmentation surgeon. The surgeon will be able to determine whether the individual is a good candidate for the procedure and can answer many questions about the procedure itself.
During the consultation, the surgeon will discuss how the augmentation will be performed and what incisions will be made.
Made in the crease beneath the breast, this popular incision gives the surgeon good access to the site and ensures that scars are not highly visible.
This is another common choice in which the incision is made around the bottom portion of the areola so that the scar is hidden.
This incision is only used for saline implants. A tunnel is made through the armpit so that no scars are left on the breast.
This incision is made in the navel where scars are easy to hide. The implant is placed through a tunnel up to the breast before being filled with saline.
All types of implants can be placed either submuscularly or subglandularly. The choice will be made based on each woman’s anatomy and goals.
With submuscular positioning, the implant is placed beneath the pectoral muscle where the edges of the implant are more easily hidden. This is a good option for thin women.
The subglandular implant is typically easier to place because the pectoral muscle will not need to be stretched. Instead, the implant is placed beneath the breast’s glandular tissues.
Breast augmentation surgery is an invasive procedure for which you will typically need a general anesthesia to stay completely comfortable. The surgeon will begin by making the incision. Once the implants are in place, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures and skin adhesives. You should be able to go home later the same day.
You will not be able to see the full results of the procedure for a couple of weeks until the swelling decreases. The incisional scars will also fade over time.
You should plan on taking up to a week off work to recover and will need to avoid strenuous activities for at least six weeks. Your surgeon will tell you what medication to take to control any discomfort you may have during recovery.
The cost for breast augmentation in Miami can range from just under $2,500 to $8,000 or more. The final cost will depend on the size and type of implant you need, the incision type your surgeon chooses and other variables.

You can still get pregnant after having breast implants. However, if you are planning on getting pregnant in the next 12 months, you may want to wait for your augmentation until you are done nursing.
Although this procedure provides volume and some lift, you may need to consider combining it with a breast lift for the best results on sagging breasts.
You should choose your new breast size based on your overall body image goals as well as on your body shape and frame. Your breasts should accentuate the curves of your hips.
Breast augmentation cost varies significantly based on the implants and surgical procedure you and the surgeon choose. However, a boob job with Dr Rami Ghurani or Dr. Kagan generally cost between $3,500 to $4,500.
You will notice changes in nipple sensation immediately after your augmentation. However, feeling in the area should return to normal after a month or two of recovery.
You should plan to take approximately a week off work to recover following your surgery. However, you will need to wait at least six weeks before engaging in vigorous exercise.
Most women find that they can still breastfeed following augmentation surgery. However, if incisions were made around your areola, you may find that your milk supply is decreased or that you cannot breastfeed.
Revision surgery may be needed if an implant has ruptured, if you want to change to a different type of implant or if you want to change the shape or size of your breast further.
