Breast augmentation in Miami is a procedure that involves changing the volume, size, or shape of the breasts resulting in a fuller, perkier, and more toned appearance. Breast augmentation creates fuller breasts and can assist in correcting asymmetry in the breasts, resulting in breasts that are more supple and aesthetically pleasing.

Breast Implant Incision Sites
Periareolar Incision
This type of incision is performed at the border of the areola and the lighter breast skin. It offers sufficient control to properly position the implant and results in the least noticeable scarring possible.
Inframammary Incision
With this method, the incision is made under the breast, at the breast fold. While the incision is a bit more noticeable than with periareolar access, this technique provides a faster approach for creating the breast pocket for the implant. Plus, it does not affect breast ducts in any way, thus minimizing the chances of future issues with breastfeeding.
Transaxillary Incision
With this technique, an incision is made in the axilla (underarm). Next, an endoscope is used to assist in creating a breast pocket for the implant placement. The scars resulting from transaxillary incision may be visible if you raise your hands. In addition, if a revision procedure is needed in the future, existing scar tissue in the area may make the same approach more difficult.
Transumbilical Incision
With transumbilical incision, the incision is made in the belly button, creating a tunnel to the breast. This method only works with saline implants and carries a higher risk of chest trauma. As such, we typically do not recommend this approach to our patients.
Benefits of Breast Implants in Miami
Safety and Low Risk of Complications
Breast implant surgery is considered to be a safe procedure with little risk of complications or side effects. By choosing a trusted and reliable plastic surgeon in Miami like Dr. Craft, you can further minimize the risk of any undesirable complications like infections or wound healing issues.
Long-Lasting Results
Increased Self-Esteem and Confidence
One of the best reasons to get breast implants is the instant boost of self-confidence following the procedure. Many patients who come in for the breast implant procedure are incredibly self-conscious about the shape or size of their breasts. With one simple surgery, we are able to quickly erase their low self-esteem.
Relatively Quick and Easy Recovery
While breast augmentation in Miami is still a surgical procedure, the post-procedure recovery is relatively quick and easy. You may experience some tightness or discomfort for a few days after the surgery but will soon start to feel normal and healthy. You will be able to resume daily activities in one to two weeks, with a full recovery by the six-week mark.
Restored Symmetry
If you have asymmetrical breasts or lost symmetry as a result of breastfeeding, breast implants can be used to restore visual harmony. During the surgery, Dr. Craft will also make sure that your nipples are symmetrical and correct any aesthetic imperfections in the process.
Increased Breast Volume
Of course, breast implants allow patients to dramatically (or subtly) increase the volume of their breasts. Breast implants come in all shapes and sizes, and Dr. Craft will work with you to help find the right volume for your body type and your preferences.
Natural Appearance
Modern breast implants in Miami don’t have to look unnatural. With a well-balanced approach and surgical precision, Dr. Craft will be able to create a subtle, natural change.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation in Miami
Like all surgical procedures, breast augmentation involves important considerations to identify the ideal candidate for the treatment. Dr. Craft and your enhancement team may or may not recommend a mammogram prior to the surgery. Plus, before deciding whether breast augmentation in Miami is right for you, they will consider the following ideal candidate qualities:
- Women who desire breasts with more volume and larger size.
- Women who have droopy breasts or mild breast sagginess.
- Women who have decreased breast size due to weight gain and loss, pregnancy, or aging.
- Women with asymmetrical or uneven breasts.
- Women with a body mass index that is below 35, and preferably less than 30.
- Women over the age of 18 (for saline implants) and over age 22 (for silicone gel implants).
- Women without serious illnesses or other factors that may impede healing post-surgery.
- Women who do not smoke.
Breast Aug Miami: Considerations
What to Expect
Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation surgery is done under general anesthesia or deep intravenous sedation. Surgeons make very small skin incisions hidden along the skin creases so that they are not easily visible and heal with minimal scarring. Other incisions for breast augmentation include placement of the incision in the armpit and along the edge of the areola. The breast implant is then gently inserted underneath the muscles of the chest. The implant may be filled with either saline or silicone.
Depending on the requested augmentation and the incisions necessary, the surgery usually takes less than one hour. Because the incisions are small, absorbable sutures are used to close the wound. A dressing is applied over the small incision and a postoperative bra is applied. Once the surgery is over, you will be allowed to recover in the recovery room for about an hour.
Breast Augmentation Results
After surgery, it takes your body time to heal and adjust to the breast augmentation. The results post-surgery are immediately noticeable. The implants will last from 15 – 20 years. Your enhancement team will provide you with a care plan to ensure your implants last as long as possible.
Breast Implants Recovery Process
Generally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and recovery time.
- Bandages are applied right after surgery to aid the healing process.
- For the first few days, patients sometimes report pressure associated with surgery which can be treated with oral medication.
- Most patients will experience uncomfortable pressure, bruising, and swelling post-surgery.
- Bruising and swelling may take up to two weeks to diminish.
- Healing time can vary from seven to nine days.
- The stitches will be removed one week after the surgery depending on the procedure(s) involved.
During recovery, patients generally must avoid heavy exercise or active movements for two to three weeks. Some patients experience minor numbing of the nipples for one to two months after the surgery, however, these symptoms diminish with time. While complications are rare, any potential problems can be minimized by carefully following the postoperative recommendations provided by the surgical team.
