Breast Augmentation in our Miami State-of-the-Art Facility

Breast augmentation involves using breast implants or fat transfer to enhance your breasts. While a breast augmentation provides larger breasts that are immediately noticeable, the final results may take a few weeks as the initial swelling will need to subside, and the skin stretches appropriately. You will likely need to wear a bandeau to help shape your breasts, especially if there is underlying asymmetry or if your breasts were small to start with. Breast augmentation is transforming, nevertheless, it is a medical procedure and so proper preparation before surgery should be made.

What to Expect After Surgery

The following is what you can typically expect from breast augmentation:

• Directly after surgery, you will be taken into a recovery area for observation and monitoring.
• You will be permitted to go home once your plastic surgeon determines that you are stable for discharge, usually within an hour or so.
• Your breasts will be wrapped in gauze dressings and an elastic bandage or support bra. This will minimize swelling and support your breasts as they heal.
• Before you are permitted to go home, you will be given specific post-operative instructions.
• You will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment with your plastic surgeon.
• You may also receive medications or a prescription. Prescribed medications typically include pain pills and/or an antibiotic to prevent infection.
• Wear your bandeau around the clock as instructed by your plastic surgeon.
• It may be necessary for you to cleanse the incision sites and apply ointment. It is important to follow all your plastic surgeon’s directions carefully.
• For the first several days, take it easy until you have permission to increase your activity level.
• Any significant pain typically subsides after one to five days, but it is possible to experience soreness and/or swelling for a few weeks.
