Precision and Care

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

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.

The Choice of Implants for Breast Augmentation

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.

Incision Techniques
in Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can be performed through a variety of incisions. The three most commonly utilized approaches are:

  • Inframammary, where an incision is made at the crease between the base of the breast and the chest wall.
  • Axillary, where an incision is made through the armpit.
  • Periareolar, where an incision is made at the junction between the areola and the surrounding skin.

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.

Deciding on the Placement of Breast Augmentation Implants

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.

Breast Augmentation Results

With Dr. Vela's expertise, you can expect results that are both visually appealing and naturally integrated with your overall physique.
