Breast augmentation (or augmentation mammoplasty) is the most popular and widely performed cosmetic surgery available in America. Through a growing variety of implant options and surgical techniques, under the care of a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, almost any patient can easily and comfortably have the height, width, size, shape and fullness of their breasts modified to their liking to better achieve their body and beauty ideals. When performing Breast Augmentation surgery in Lake Nona, Orlando, Dr. Miller can often correct size or proportion anomalies, in addition to addressing medical concerns.

There are 2 simple but important choices you will need to make before undergoing Breast Augmentation by Dr. Miller. Do I want to use my fat to augment my breasts or implants? 

If you are interested in using your own fat to augment your breasts you will undergo a fat transfer to your breasts. The is a procedure where Dr. Miller removes fat from one area of the body (like the abdomen or thighs) and injects it into the breasts to increase their size and improve their shape, essentially providing a "natural" breast augmentation using the patient's own tissue; this procedure is also known as autologous fat transfer or natural breast enhancement.  

If you desire implants, the first choice you will need to decide is:

Silicone breast implants are softer and will feel more like natural breasts. But while silicone implants feel more natural, detecting a future abnormality or rupture would be more difficult: Silicone implants are self-contained units, so little to none of their content would quickly spill within the body in the unlikely event of an accident.

Saline breast implants are firmer and more rubbery than silicone implants. Made of primarily body-absorbable salt water, saline implants tend to grant a degree of additional safety and peace of mind over time, however, in the rare event one or both implants were to rupture, the affected breast would visibly flatten out within about 24 hours. 

Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (CC) and come in nearly every size imaginable. Commonly used breast implant sizes range from 200 cc to 850 cc, with 200 to 400 cc being the most common. The selection of a size varies greatly from person to person and depends on an individual's beauty goals and personal preferences.

The best metric to use in choosing breast implants isn't cup size, but proportionality — how large or small relative to the rest of the upper body. Dr. Miller will help you settle on a size you are comfortable with, as well as help you envision what various sizes would be like. Though breast implants are semi-permanent, Dr. Miller will be able to give you a very good idea of the final outcome well before the procedure even begins.
