Reshape & Enhance

What is a Breast Augmentation?

Breast Augmentation, also referred to as Augmentation Mammoplasty or Breast Aug, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and enlarges the breasts. It is our most popular procedure and can provide an amazing improvement in your beauty and self-esteem. Breast Augmentation is usually performed to enlarge small underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have lost their shape due to having children or weight loss. The breast implants can consist of either saline or silicone, depending on what our surgeons think will be best for the patient. We offer the newest implant designs and techniques to achieve a natural-looking and sexy volume enhancement.

A Fuller, More Youthful Look

What Breast Augmentation Surgery Won’t Do

Breast Augmentation does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a Breast Lift may be required in conjunction with breast augmentation. Breast lifting can often be done at the same time as your augmentation or may require a separate operation. Our surgeon will assist you in making this decision.

Safe and Trusted Plastic Surgery

Safety Information

Plastic surgery is very safe when performed by board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons in a surgery center that is licensed, like Estetica Institute. However, each patient must be viewed on a case-by-case basis and should be cleared prior to undergoing plastic surgery. Therefore, our patients have a formal history and physical examination and a full set of laboratories done prior to general anesthesia when the surgeon considers it necessary. We strive to offer the best Breast Augmentation West Palm Beach has to offer.

Consequently, during your consultation, our surgeon and patient coordinator will discuss the potential risks, complications, and side effects of the surgery. Our surgeons are board-certified plastic surgeons in West Palm Beach with a staff of over 20, providing patients with the very best in plastic and cosmetic surgery. For more information about breast augmentation procedures at Estetica Institute or to schedule an appointment, please call (561) 776-9555.

How the procedure is performed

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Our expert anesthesia team will place the patient under IV sedation. Breast Augmentation is performed by surgically inserting breast implants through a small incision made below the breast or in the lower part of the areola. Prior to the surgery, the doctor and the patient will discuss the best place to insert the implant. In order to achieve the desired volume and shape, the surgeon will discuss at length with each patient what their ideal implant size selection will be.

Additional Reading

Once the incisions are made, the surgeon creates a pocket either behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the pectoralis major muscle or chest muscle (submuscular).  Other positions include the advanced subfascial technique or dual plane procedure. The breast implants are positioned within the pocket, and the incisions are then closed with layered sutures and tape. It usually takes about one hour to perform, and most patients go home within 30 minutes after the procedure. At Estetica Institute, we have dramatically improved this procedure and the post-operative discomfort by avoiding any bleeding and manipulating the muscle and breast tissue very gently. In addition, long-acting anesthetic blocks are injected around the ribs at the end of the Breast Augmentation surgery, thus almost eliminating any pain for several hours after the procedure.
