Breast Augmentation South Florida

The ideal feminine contour is often depicted with large, full breasts; however, there are many women who lack volume and wish to achieve a more youthful breast contour. At the Miami area practice of Constantino G. Mendieta, M.D., F.A.C.S., he helps South Florida breast augmentation patients to attain the look they desire.

Breast Enhancement Surgery

Medically known as "augmentation mammaplasty," this procedure is designed to enlarge the breasts, and enhance their shape. Dr. Mendieta will discuss the various factors to consider during your initial consultation. Some of these include incision location, such as around the nipple, in the breast crease, in the armpit, or through the belly button; breast implant type, including saline or silicone implants; and implant placement, which will be under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. You will also need to decide on which you prefer - round or anatomical, and smooth or textured implants.

After your breast surgery, you can anticipate feeling sleepy, as well as some discomfort for the first 24 hours. With the help of medication and ice packs, this should subside and you will be able to resume your normal activities within three to four days. Sutures are removed after five to seven days, and you may be able to return to work at this time. Final results will be noticeable after two to three months, at which time the breasts should have settled into their final shape.

Prospective Miami, South Florida, and Coconut Grove breast augmentation patients should also be aware of possible complications and side effects associated with breast augmentation surgery, such as hematoma, infection, capsular contracture, implant rupture or leak, rippling and wrinkling, and nipple sensory changes. It is important to follow all instructions provided by Dr. Mendieta in order to prevent these issues from arising.

In addition to breast enlargement, our Miami cosmetic surgery provider also performs breast lift surgery ("mastopexy") and breast reduction surgery ("reduction mammaplasty"). Based on your individual needs and anatomy, Dr. Mendieta will recommend the best surgical option for you.

Before and after breast augmentation pictures are available to view prior to your surgery, as well as educational breast enhancement videos. For better insight as to the care provided by Dr. Mendieta and his caring staff, be sure to read patient testimonials.
