If you’re considering aesthetic breast surgery, you have probably read about the many techniques and combinations that are out there. Many women considering this type of procedure want to not only enhance the size and shape of their breasts but also address sagging due to aging, pregnancy, and other factors. If this sounds like you, we can help make your choice simple.
With Dr. Jeremy White and our team at ARC Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, you can rest assured you will be receiving the highest quality care and aesthetic professionalism in the Miami area. Dr. White is a highly sought-after, double-board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive knowledge, training, and experience.

Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure where implants are inserted into the breasts to alter the size and shape of the breasts. Implants can be made from artificial material like silicone or created using fat or muscle tissue from other body parts. There are many different types of implants and incision techniques depending on the particular patient.
While breast augmentation can improve the size and shape of your breasts, augmentation does not specifically address sagging or breast ptosis. This can be addressed with a breast lift. In contrast, a breast lift, known as a mastopexy, does not address size or fullness so defining your particular concerns is important when deciding which procedure is best.
If you are ready for larger, firmer, perkier breasts, breast augmentation with lift could be your answer. You can add volume, sculpt your ideal shape, and elevate breasts that are sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Regain the confidence and feeling of sensuality you’ve been missing. With a combined procedure, you can:
Patient Testimonial

At a consultation, Dr. White will discuss both your aesthetic goals and your medical history to determine if a combined breast augmentation with lift is the ideal procedure to address your needs. You will most likely need a general physical exam and, in most cases, a mammogram to prepare for the surgery.
Choosing an implant size
Deciding on your ideal implant size depends on your preference. However, weight, height, and frame are usually taken into consideration. On average, patients choose to increase by about 1.5 to 2 cup sizes.
Types of Implants
Different kinds of implants produce different results; some are more suitable than others depending on the patient.
For the most realistic appearance and feel, silicone implants are typically the best option. Suppose you are looking for a more significant size increase. In that case, saline implants may be ideal since a smaller incision can be made for the silicone casing, which is then injected with saline liquid after insertion. Dr White can still place larger silicone implants through small, well-hidden incisions as well by using a Keller funnel to deliver the device without trauma or bacterial contamination.
Smooth implants give a more natural looking “hang,” while textured implants hold their position in the body longer.
A teardrop shape provides a slightly more natural-looking breast shape; however, round implants are commonly used to provide fullness in the upper portion of the breast and can give the same, natural appearance as tear drop implants when the right implants and surgical techniques are chosen.
The profile of breast implants is the distance that the breast “projects” away from the chest. High, moderate, or low may each be preferred depending on body proportions and other factors.
This procedure typically takes about two to three hours and is performed in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will perform both the augmentation and mastopexy for a blended, effective final result.
Breast Implant Incisions
During the procedure, one of a few different incisions will be used. Possibilities include inframammary (in the breast fold) and periareolar (around the nipple). The right choice for your needs will be discussed during your consultation.
You will experience some swelling, tenderness, and even bruising after surgery, but this typically resolves on its own within a few days. Most of our Miami breast aug with lift patients can return to work and household duties after 1-2 weeks but should avoid strenuous exercise or other activities for 3-4 weeks based on the doctor’s recommendations. Great results are typically visible after about a month but optimal results can take up to a year while the breasts settle.

Breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure itself. Most patients experience some swelling and tenderness for a few days after surgery.
Breast augmentation with lift is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery and is considered very safe when performed by a certified and skilled plastic surgeon. Possible risks can occur with any surgery, including infection, scar tissue, or changes in sensation.
Augmentation with implants typically lasts 10-15 years before the need for revision, while the lift is also long-lasting and largely depends on the effects of aging.
Typically, breast augmentation and lift do not require a hospital stay and are outpatient procedures. However, since you will be recovering from general anesthesia or heavy sedation, you will need someone to drive you home and help you out for about 24 hours.
Yes, with most breast augmentation and lift techniques, you will still be able to breastfeed.
While nipple sensitivity can be affected in rare cases, this usually normalizes once the body has healed fully.
The cost of this procedure varies greatly depending on the location you are receiving the surgery and what specifically the surgery will look like for you.
