Precision and Care
Dr. Vela's approach to the breast augmentation procedure prioritizes precision and care. The procedure involves making a discreet incision through which the chosen implant is inserted and positioned. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Vela's focus is on achieving the agreed-upon aesthetic goal, minimizing scarring, and ensuring patient safety and comfort. Breast augmentation primarily utilizes implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Modern advancements in medical technology have greatly improved the safety and customization of implants. Today's options encompass a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and textures to ensure your results align with your individual preferences and physique.
Over the past decades, various types of implants have been developed for breast augmentation. Today's approved implants in the United States consist of a silicone shell that is filled either with saline or a silicone gel. Furthermore, the implants can feature a smooth or textured surface, and their shape can be either round or teardrop-shaped.
Miami breast augmentation specialist, Dr. Vela, tailors his choice of saline or silicone, smooth or textured, and round or teardrop-shaped implants based on each patient’s aesthetics and anatomy. He will engage you in a comprehensive and detailed discussion to explore these options, ensuring your decisions align with your desired outcomes.
Breast augmentation can be performed through a variety of incisions. The three most commonly utilized approaches are:
Each incision type offers distinct benefits and potential disadvantages, and every plastic surgeon has their preference. Dr. Vela selects the incision technique based on the individual characteristics of the patient, with the goal of creating a pleasing breast appearance and preserving the patient's privacy.
Apart from the choice of incisions and breast implants, the location for implant placement is another crucial decision. Implants can be placed either beneath the breast tissue but above the pectoralis muscle (subglandular placement) or beneath the pectoralis muscle and against the ribs (submuscular placement). Subglandular placement has benefits such as less initial pain post-surgery and a quicker maturation of the implanted breast's appearance. Furthermore, it eliminates the effect of pectoralis muscle contractions on the breast's appearance, which is particularly beneficial for bodybuilders.
Submuscular placement, however, offers several advantages. It facilitates a more natural-looking breast with a smoother transition from the upper chest to the breast mound. Additionally, it significantly lowers the rates of capsular contracture (scarring around the implant) and reduces the visibility of implant ripples or folds, which is important for saline implants. Furthermore, submuscular placement enhances the quality of mammograms, as technicians can better differentiate between the breast and the implant.
While both methods have pros and cons, Dr. Vela generally recommends the submuscular technique to his patients, with exceptions for bodybuilders and some specific cases. This decision, like all others in the process, will be made with your full understanding and consent.
Embrace Your Transformation
Post-procedure, Miami breast augmentation patients can expect to notice immediate changes in the size and shape of their breasts. However, it's important to understand that final results typically manifest once post-operative swelling has subsided and the implants have settled into their position. With Dr. Vela's expertise, you can expect results that are both visually appealing and naturally integrated with your overall physique.
Guided Recovery
Recovery from breast augmentation with Dr. Vela is carefully managed to ensure comfort and optimal results. While the recovery period varies, most patients can expect to resume light activities within a few days and more strenuous activities within a few weeks. Initially, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these symptoms are generally manageable with medication and diminish over time.
Dr. Vela and his team will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions and will be available to answer any questions or concerns that may arise during your recovery period. Remember, your commitment to the recovery process is as critical as the surgery itself for achieving the best possible outcome.
While you'll notice an immediate increase in breast size after surgery, final results typically become apparent once post-operative swelling has subsided and the implants have settled into their position. This process can take a few weeks to several months.
Yes, breast augmentation can be combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction, as part of a more comprehensive body contouring plan. Dr. Vela will discuss this option with you if it aligns with your aesthetic goals and is safe, given your health status.
