Breast Augmentation In Miami, FL

Dr. Pazmiño sees you as a partner in your surgery, and his approach is built around your safety and your goals:

• Trusted implant brands: Dr. Pazmiño offers breast implants from Motiva, Mentor, Allergan, and Sientra, so you can choose the size, shape, projection, and feel that best fit your goals.
• Smooth implants only: Dr. Pazmiño does not offer textured breast implants, which have been linked to a rare lymphoma called BIA-ALCL.
• Implant placement: Dr. Pazmiño offers both under-the-muscle and above-the-muscle placement. If you have enough natural breast tissue to cover the implant comfortably, above-the-muscle placement is an excellent option, and he will help you choose the best placement for your body and goals.
• You choose your incision: Dr. Pazmiño examines you carefully, explains the pros and cons of each incision option, and lets you choose: transaxillary, hidden in the armpit with no scar on the breast itself; inframammary, in the crease beneath the breast; or periareolar, along the lower edge of the areola. The only exception is when your breasts need internal support, which can limit which incisions are possible.

• He is known for complex revision surgery, so he plans every primary breast augmentation with long-term results in mind.
• He has practiced plastic surgery since 2003 and has performed more than 10,000 surgeries. Because many of those surgeries combine several procedures, they include more than 2,500 breast augmentation procedures.
• Certified and held to the highest standards: Dr. Pazmiño is a board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS).
• Trained at the best, and now training others: He graduated with honors from Harvard University and earned his medical degree with distinction from Baylor College of Medicine. He also completed his general and plastic surgery residency there and served as Chief Resident. Today he teaches the next generation of plastic surgeons as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami and the University of Pittsburgh.
• His peers have entrusted him with some of the most important roles in his specialty: As Associate Editor of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the #1 scientific journal in aesthetic surgery, he helps decide which research and techniques reach plastic surgeons around the world. He brings that knowledge straight to your care.
• He helps write the safety rules other surgeons follow: He serves on the Board of Directors of The Aesthetic Foundation, where he is Treasurer and Co-Chair of the Scientific Research Committee. He is also Chair of The Aesthetic Society’s Patient Safety Committee. Closer to home, he serves as Treasurer on the Board of Directors of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. He helps set the standards surgeons follow across the country, and he follows them for you.

You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:

• Feel your breasts are too small for your body
• Have lost breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
• Have breasts that differ noticeably in size or shape
• Have fully developed breasts and are in good overall health
• Do not smoke, or are willing to quit before and after surgery
• Have realistic expectations about size, shape, and implant maintenance

If your breasts also sag or your nipples point downward, implants alone may not give you the shape you want. Dr. Pazmiño may recommend a breast lift with implants instead.

Breast augmentation can improve both your proportions and how you feel in your clothes. Key benefits include:

• Fuller, more shapely breasts in a size you choose
• Better balance between your bust and hips
• Restored upper-breast volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
• Improved symmetry when one breast is noticeably smaller
• Easier fit in swimwear, dresses, and fitted tops
• Long-lasting results; many patients enjoy their implants for 10 to 20 years or more

A little preparation helps your breast augmentation and recovery go smoothly. Dr. Pazmiño will give you personalized instructions, which usually include these steps:

1. Stop smoking and using nicotine products several weeks before surgery, as nicotine slows healing.
2. Schedule a baseline mammogram if Dr. Pazmiño recommends one for your age or history.
3. Avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory medications, supplements, and alcohol, as directed.
4. Buy front-closing tops and set up a recovery area where you can rest propped up on your back.

1. Wear your surgical or support bra day and night for as long as Dr. Pazmiño recommends.
2. Sleep on your back, propped on pillows, for the first several weeks.
3. Avoid lifting, pushing, or pulling anything heavy until you are cleared.
4. Take short walks each day to support circulation and lower the risk of blood clots.
5. Avoid nicotine completely while your incisions heal.
6. Attend all follow-up appointments so that our team can monitor your implant position and healing.
