Breast augmentation or breast implants can increase the fullness and projection of your breasts, improve the balance of your figure, and enhance your self-image and self-confidence.
Breast enhancement at Miami Aesthetic has given our patients with small or uneven breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look. The procedure involves using implants to fulfill your desire for fuller breasts or to restore volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Our patients tell us that they fit better in clothes and that they love their new look! Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery for women in the United States. Our commitment to your satisfaction and our patients’ beautiful consistent results make breast enhancement one of the most popular procedures we perform at Miami Aesthetic.

Breast Augmentation Choices: Which Incision Is Right For You?
Patients today may choose to place their breast augmentation or breast implants incision in many different locations. The choice a patient makes depends on their body type, lifestyle, and personal preference. Which one is right for you?
Periareolar
This incision is very popular with patients because it is difficult to detect at the border of the darker skin around the nipple and the lighter skin of the breast. This is also an excellent option for patients whose breasts may be uneven or may require a lift.
Inframammary
This incision is popular with patients who want to avoid an incision around the nipple. Patients whose nipples are too small to accommodate an incision may also select this location. These patients do not need any surgery to adjust the shape and position of their breasts. As this incision avoids most of the tissue of the breast, there may be a lower risk of nipple sensitivity.
Transaxillary
This incision in the underarm (axilla or armpit) is popular with patients who want to avoid an incision on the breast altogether. These patients do not need any additional surgery to adjust the shape or position of their breasts. This approach works best with saline implants or small silicone gel implants.
Vertical
This incision, also known as the “lollipop” incision, begins around the nipple and continues down the center of the breast. This is excellent for patients who would like an implant but also need significant lifting of the breast at the same time. Through a single incision, a patient can combine two surgeries in one (
breast lift AND a breast augmentation)!
Implant Placement
During the surgery, Dr. Pazmiño can place the implants either under just the breast (subglandular position) or under the breast and chest wall muscle (subpectoral position). Implants placed beneath the chest wall muscle (subpectoral) offer a few advantages over those placed only beneath the breast tissue (subglandular). These advantages include a reduced risk of capsular contracture (post-operative tightening around the implant) and less interference with mammogram examinations. A possible disadvantage includes soreness in the first few days after surgery. Dr. Pazmiño will answer all of your questions so that you can decide which position is right for you.
Saline And Silicone Gel Breast Implants
Breast implants are silicone shells filled with either saline (salt water) or silicone gel. Both implant types are safe and each offers its own advantages. The decision to use saline or silicone gel breast implants is based on your aesthetic goals, your body shape, and your personal preferences.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved silicone breast implants for breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Pazmiño is proud to offer patients the option of silicone gel-filled breast implants since they are much softer and feel more natural than saline-filled breast implants.
Breast Augmentation Implant Profile
Women choosing breast augmentation can select from a number of different implant profiles or heights. During your consultation, measurements of your breasts and chest will be taken and you will learn the advantages and disadvantages of each profile. You will then be able to decide which profile will meet your aesthetic goals!
Implant Shape
Breast implants can come in a round shape or pear-shaped (anatomic). Advantages of the round shape include more fullness in the upper part of the breast (more cleavage). At your consultation, you’ll see examples of each and will be able to try each one! This will allow you to choose the one that best fits your goals and body type!
Implant Texture
Breast implants have either a smooth or textured surface. This becomes particularly important for those patients who choose a pear-shaped implant or who have had capsular contractures from previous implant surgery. At your consultation, you will feel the difference and will be able to choose the option that is best for you.
Implant Size
At Miami Aesthetic, we have every breast implant size and shape! During your consultation, you will learn how the size of the implant affects your ultimate result. By using digital imaging and actually trying on the implants yourself, you will be able to select one that will complement your figure and meet your aesthetic goals.

How Does A Breast Augmentation Work?
A breast augmentation or breast implant at Miami Aesthetic takes approximately forty-five to ninety minutes and is performed as an outpatient procedure. In the operating room, Dr. Pazmiño will bring to life the choices each woman has made. He will first create the incision you selected and place the implant in the position you chose. He will then use stitches that do not have to be removed and cover these incisions with tape and bandages. In a few days, these bandages may be replaced with a surgical bra.
Complementary Procedures
Breast augmentation can achieve dramatic and beautiful results on its own as well as in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery. Women may combine a breast augmentation with other procedures such as a breast lift or
liposuction for more satisfying results.
Breast Augmentation Results
We customize each surgery to meet the aesthetic results of the individual patient. Our patients love the way their breasts complement their body and how they now fit in clothes and swimsuits. Please visit our photo gallery to see the results of some of our patients.
Recovery After A Breast Augmentation
Patients who receive a breast augmentation in the morning are back at home by lunch time and can return to work in one to three days. Each patient will receive an appropriate post-op bra or garment to help the implants heal in the correct position. Swelling from the surgery will subside in two to four weeks while implants may take four to eight weeks to achieve their final position. Incision lines will continue to fade for months or years.
Risks Of Breast Augmentation
At Miami Aesthetic, our first priority is your safety. Every patient is carefully examined and appropriate screen tests are performed before your surgery. Operative precautions are taken before, during, and after your surgery. The recovery of each patient is carefully followed by Dr. Pazmiño and his staff. This helps our patients recover comfortably and consistently get the results they want. Although rare, post-operative complications from surgery are possible. They may include infection, capsular contracture (post-operative tightening around the implant), a change in nipple sensation, and poor healing, which may require further surgery. A rupture, or leakage, of the implant as a result of injury or the normal compression and movement of your breast is uncommon. If a saline implant ruptures, the implant will simply deflate as your body safely absorbs the salt water. If a silicone implant leaks, you will need to see Dr. Pazmiño. Regular monitoring of breast implants is recommended to ensure continuing breast and implant health.
Revision Of A Breast Augmentation
