Breast Lift with Implants In Miami, FL

Dr. Pazmiño typically performs the breast lift and breast augmentation together in a single surgery. For more complex cases or certain patients, he may recommend a two-stage approach for the best, safest result.

• An implant chosen for you: Dr. Pazmiño offers a variety of breast implants, so you can choose the size, shape, projection, and feel that best match your goals.
• Implant placement: Depending on your previous breast surgery and how much natural breast tissue you have, the implant can be placed either beneath the chest muscle or above the muscle, directly behind the breast tissue. Dr. Pazmiño will recommend the best option for your anatomy.
• Extra support with an internal bra: When the breast needs more support, Dr. Pazmiño can add an internal bra, such as GalaFLEX® mesh, a supportive layer placed inside the breast to help hold the implant and breast tissue in their new position for longer-lasting results.

Your incision depends on how much lift you need:

• Circumareolar: Around the edge of the areola, for a modest lift
• Lollipop: Around the areola and straight down to the crease beneath the breast, for a moderate lift
• J incision: A lollipop incision that curves to the side along the breast crease, for added lift with less scarring than a full anchor
• Wise pattern (anchor): Around the areola, down the center, and along the breast crease, when a larger amount of breast tissue and skin needs to be removed

• He is known for complex revision surgery, experience that matters in a combined lift and augmentation, one of the more technically demanding breast procedures.
• 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 3,000 breast lift with implant procedures.

He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS).

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 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.

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants if you:

• Have breasts that sag and have also lost volume
• Notice breast changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss
• Have nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
• Want fuller breasts but know implants alone won’t correct your sagging
• Are in good health and do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations about scarring and implant maintenance

If you are happy with your current volume, a breast lift alone may be enough. If your breasts sit well but are small, breast augmentation may be all you need.

Combining a lift and augmentation addresses two concerns with a single surgery and recovery. Key benefits include:

• Corrects sagging and lost volume at the same time
• Restores fullness to the upper part of the breast
• Raises the nipple and areola to a more youthful, forward-facing position
• Reduces stretched areolas when needed
• One anesthesia, one recovery, and often lower total cost than two separate surgeries
• A balanced, natural-looking shape tailored to your frame

Because a breast lift with implants combines two procedures, careful preparation is especially important. 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 can affect healing of the nipple and incisions.
2. Wait until you are finished breastfeeding and your breasts have stabilized, as Dr. Pazmiño recommends.
3. Reach a stable weight that you can maintain after surgery.
4. Complete any lab work, mammogram, or medical clearance Dr. Pazmiño requests.
5. Avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory medications, supplements, and alcohol, as directed.

1. Wear your surgical bra or compression garment exactly as directed.
2. Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated.
3. Avoid lifting children, groceries, or anything heavy until you are cleared.
4. Take short walks each day to support circulation and lower the risk of blood clots.
5. Keep your incisions clean and follow all wound-care instructions.
6. Protect healed scars from the sun to help them fade.
7. Attend all follow-up appointments so our team can monitor your healing and the implant’s position.
