Patient Testimonial
breasts that you want and deserve
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure in which a saline or silicone breast implant is surgically placed under the breast tissue, or beneath the chest muscle, to enhance breast fullness. Our breast augmentation in Miami can also provide a minor lifting effect to drooping breasts and improve the balance of your figure.
Advances in modern medicine have made breast augmentation safer than ever, with extremely natural-looking results. To get the breasts that you want and deserve, consider having a breast augmentation surgery. Learn more about the surgery and how board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeremy White, can help.
Designing Your Ideal Breasts
It is important that breast augmentation is not confused with a breast lift. A breast augmentation in Miami will not correct severely droopy or saggy breasts. In some cases, patients choose to have both surgeries at one time, but your plastic surgeon will advise you of the best way to move forward to get the result you envision in perky, full, healthy-looking breasts.
Breast augmentation is best suited to patients who want to add volume, improve breast symmetry, or restore fullness that has changed after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or time. The more important question is whether an implant alone can create the shape you want.
During a consultation at ARC Plastic Surgery in Miami, Dr. Jeremy White looks at more than breast size. He evaluates chest width, existing breast tissue, skin elasticity, nipple position, asymmetry, and how much volume your tissues can comfortably support. Your preferences matter just as much. A patient looking for subtle upper-breast fullness requires a different plan from someone who wants a more noticeable change in projection.
Significant sagging may change the recommendation. Breast implants add volume, but they cannot reliably reposition breast tissue or a nipple that has descended below the breast crease. In that situation, Dr. White may discuss a [breast augmentation with lift] rather than choosing an unnecessarily large implant to compensate for loose skin.
Good candidates should be in generally good health, have realistic expectations, and understand that implants require long-term monitoring. Dr. White will also review your medical history, previous breast surgery, future pregnancy plans, and lifestyle before recommending surgery.
breast augmentation in Miami
During your consultation with Dr. White, he will fully explain everything to expect when you go in for your breast augmentation in Miami. A few of the topics you will go over are:
The decision to choose saline or silicone implants is an individual choice, and we ensure that you can make an educated decision.
Saline breast implants are a well-known option when researching what material to choose for your Miami breast augmentation procedure. Here are some facts about saline implants:
Silicone breast implant technology has advanced tremendously over the years. These implants are safe and feel like natural breast tissue for breast augmentation. Here are some facts about silicone implants:
Breast Implant Profile
Low Profile
Low profile implants are generally the widest of your options and have less projection. Women who have a wider chest and are looking for a more natural result may get the most attractive, natural-looking result with low profile implants.
Moderate Profile
Moderate profile breast implants are a good compromise between the breast’s projection from the body and the width of the chest.
Moderate Plus Profile
Implants with a moderate plus profile provide more cleavage and volume while still looking natural. They are wider than high profile implants, but still narrower than the low profile option. They are a good option for a woman who has a medium-sized frame.
High Profile
High profile is a good compromise for you if you want to achieve full volume and dramatic results, while still suiting the natural characteristics of your figure.
Ultra-High Profile
Ultra-high profile implants offer the largest amount of projection and can create a beautifully dramatic result. This type of implant can work well for some women who are looking for very full and rounded breasts. Depending on a person’s frame size, achieving natural-looking results requires high-level surgical skills.
Where Are Breast Implants Placed?
Implant selection gets much of the attention before breast augmentation, but where the implant sits can be just as important to the final shape and feel of the breast. Depending on a patient's anatomy, implants may be positioned above the pectoral muscle or partially beneath it.
Under-the-Muscle Placement
With submuscular or dual-plane placement, at least part of the implant is covered by the pectoral muscle. That extra layer of coverage can be useful for patients with less natural breast tissue, particularly along the upper portion of the breast where an implant edge might otherwise be more noticeable.
Because the chest muscle is involved, patients may experience more tightness or pressure during the first part of recovery. Very active patients should also discuss how strong pectoral contractions may affect implant movement.
Over-the-Muscle Placement
Subglandular placement positions the implant behind the natural breast tissue but above the pectoral muscle. It avoids muscle-related implant movement and can mean less chest-muscle discomfort during early recovery.
This option generally works best when there is enough natural tissue to provide good implant coverage. In a patient with very thin breast tissue, placing an implant above the muscle may make rippling or implant edges easier to see or feel.
Dr. White does not use one pocket position for every patient. Breast-tissue thickness, chest dimensions, implant size and profile, exercise habits, and the desired breast shape all influence where the implant should sit. The same individualized planning applies when selecting among [breast implant options].

All About Breast Implants in Miami
How to decide if Breast Augmentation is right for you
With our breast implants, there is no “typical” patient. Women of all ages choose this surgery for many reasons, sometimes to improve self-esteem, to restore the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding, or to correct an asymmetrical breast. To help you determine if you're a good candidate for Breast Augmentation Miami patents should ask themselves some things about breast implant surgery, such as:
- Do I feel self-conscious about my small breasts and want them to be larger?
- Do I have clothes that fit well around my hips, but not around my bust?
- Are my breasts smaller, and less perky, after having children or losing weight?
- Are my breasts noticeably uneven, creating an odd appearance that I feel I must hide?
If you answered any of these questions with a definitive yes, you are probably a good candidate for breast implants in Miami. We suggest a consultation with a highly-skilled plastic surgeon to advise you of the best way to move forward in beautifying your bust area.
What is the Keller Funnel
minimally-invasive
The Keller Funnel was invented by Dr. Kevin M. Keller. This device allows a wide range of cup sizes and various types of silicone breast implants to be inserted in a minimally-invasive way that requires no skin contact by the surgeon. This greatly reduces the risk of any complication from the surgery (including reducing the chance of capsular contracture) and is why Dr. White uses it.
- A shorter incision is possible
- The technique lowers the revision rate
- It prevents breast implants from touching the skin
- This breast augmentation technique can reduce tissue trauma

What is the Cost of Breast Augmentation in Miami?
In the practice of cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation cost ranges from $4,500 to $6,000 for an initial procedure. This cost itself includes the cost of the certified surgery center, the board-certified anesthesiologists, breast implants and other surgical materials, and the services of your board-certified plastic surgeon.
For tubular breast deformities or breast revision surgeries, the procedure requires more time and surgical complexity. As a completely different surgery that requires added skill and materials in the procedure, the cost is higher at a range of $6,500 to $10,500. It is important to remember that breast augmentation is an elective surgery, which means insurance usually won’t cover it. If you have questions, speak with your insurance provider.
What Is Breast Augmentation Recovery Like?
Recovery after breast augmentation happens in stages. Most patients are surprised by how quickly they are able to move around and handle basic daily activities, although the breasts need considerably longer to settle and heal internally.
The First Week
Swelling, pressure, tightness, and soreness across the chest are common during the first several days. The breasts also tend to sit higher and feel firmer than they eventually will. Patients are encouraged to walk, but strenuous activity and lifting remain restricted.
Many patients with desk-based jobs can return to work in about a week. Jobs that involve lifting, repetitive upper-body movement, or significant physical activity usually require more time away.
Weeks Two Through Four
Daily movement becomes easier and much of the early soreness subsides. Swelling continues to decrease, and the implants begin settling into a more natural position.
This is also the point when feeling better can get ahead of actual healing. Running errands or returning to work does not mean the implant pocket is ready for heavy weights, push-ups, running, or other high-impact exercise. Dr. White will let you know when specific activities can safely resume.
Around Four to Six Weeks
Exercise is generally reintroduced gradually once healing allows. The exact timing varies with implant placement, incision healing, and the physical demands of the activity.
Patients who strength train or rely heavily on the chest muscles may need more individualized instructions, particularly after under-the-muscle placement.
The Following Months
Breast augmentation continues to change after the initial recovery is over. Swelling fades, tissues relax, implants settle, and the breasts gradually become softer. Incisions also continue maturing for many months.
ARC's care does not stop once a patient is back at work. Dr. White and his team continue to follow healing and can evaluate changes in implant position, symmetry, scar maturation, or anything that feels unfamiliar during recovery.
When Will I See My Breast Augmentation Results?
Breast augmentation creates an immediate increase in volume, but what you see during the first week is not the finished result. Early swelling and tight tissues can make the breasts look unusually high, firm, or rounded.
By the first month, much of the early swelling has improved and the implants are beginning to settle. One breast may soften or descend slightly faster than the other during this stage, which is not unusual.
Around three months, many patients have a much clearer sense of their new breast shape. The tissues have relaxed, the transition between the chest and breast generally looks softer, and the implants feel less like something newly placed beneath the tissue.
Between six months and one year, smaller changes continue as scars fade and the breast envelope adapts to the implants.
Dr. White's goal is not to create the same breast on every body. Implant width, projection, volume, placement, existing tissue, and skin quality all affect what a natural-looking result means for an individual patient.
The result should make sense with your frame. It should work in a swimsuit and a fitted dress, but also in the T-shirt you already wear on a Saturday morning. You should still recognize your body—just with the proportion and fullness you came to ARC hoping to achieve.

Breast Augmentation FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most elective breast surgery should be performed only after breast development is complete. This means at least 18 years old for most women, but it should be noted that breasts continue to change in size and shape with age and pregnancies. Saline implants have FDA approval for patients 18 years of age or older. For silicone breast implants, FDA approval is for 22 years or older. Both options are available for breast reconstruction for women of any age.
There is no concrete answer for what size breast implant should be chosen, as breast size is a personal preference, depending upon your wishes and what you consider to be ideal for you. In some cases, there are potential anatomical limitations associated with the amount of preexisting breast and skin tissue, and the degree of stretch that your unique skin can tolerate. Dr. White spends time with each patient during a consultation using a specialized breast implant sizing kit to help choose the best breast implant range, based on the factors of breast width, existing tissue and the elasticity of your individual skin.
That depends on the implant. Breast implants are not meant to be life-long devices, which is why most companies guarantee them for only 10 years. If you have not had any problems (capsular contracture, leak, etc.) with your current implants and they have not been placed on recall (like the French PIP), I do not see a reason to remove them. You should continue to do self-breast exams and get mammography to screen for cancer.
There is no one answer for an ideal breast implant size. The size depends on your desires and your aesthetic ideals. There are also potential anatomic limitations having to do with how much breast tissue you have and how much stretch your skin can tolerate.
The tuberous breast is a congenital malformation of the breasts that is thought to be caused by a constrictive ring of fascia around the breast tissue underneath the skin. This prevents the present tissue from expanding and developing properly and often leads to herniation of breast tissue through a large areola. There is a spectrum of how much this ring ends up restricting breast growth.
Treatment for tuberous breast depends on the amount of breast tissue present, the pliability of the soft tissue, and the breast shape. The constrictive ring is broken up by dissecting the breast tissue from the underlying muscle and making a radial incision. This technique enables the breast tissue to lay in a more circular fashion. A nipple reduction is often an integral part of this surgery as is, at times, a breast lift.
The surgery can be done in one or two stages with or without a breast implant. Tissue expansion is sometimes necessary to prepare the breast envelope to receive an implant. The bottom line is that there are multiple ways to do this, so we have to decide together what is the best way to help you achieve your goals when you come in for your physical examination.
The two most commonly used practices for performing breast augmentation surgery are either an incision at the bottom of the breast (called an inframammary fold) or an incision at the bottom of the areola (called periareolar). In some instances, implants can be placed through the armpit or belly button, but these incision sites create more limitations related to implant size, type, and control of the final location.
The inframammary approach, which uses an incision at the lower fold of the breast, is the most commonly used incision and is well hidden under the breast mound. This method provides the plastic surgeon control and flexibility with implant pocket creation and device placement.
