Breast augmentation can enhance breast volume, shape, and projection for women who want fuller breasts or wish to restore fullness lost after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. At ARTIS Institute in Aventura, Dr. Andrés Sárraga personalizes each procedure to complement your proportions and aesthetic goals.
Whether you are interested in implants, fat transfer, or an approach that avoids incisions on the breasts, our surgeons will explain your options and help you make an informed decision.
ABOUT BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast augmentation increases breast fullness using implants or your own fat. It can address naturally small breasts, volume changes, and certain differences in breast size. Your treatment plan will depend on your anatomy, existing breast tissue, skin elasticity, and desired results.
During your consultation, Dr. Sárraga or Dr. Tran will discuss your preferred size and shape, review your medical history, and recommend an approach. If you also have significant sagging, a breast lift may be recommended to improve breast position while augmentation adds volume.
MINIMAL INCISION ENDOSCOPIC ASSISTED BREAST AUGMENTATION (S.I.M.P.L.E. breast augmentation) (Single Incision Mammary Prosthetic Lift Enhancement)
At the ARTIS Institute, we are proud to offer an option for breast augmentation using minimal incisions through the axilla. Through a small incision in your axilla (armpit), Dr. Sarraga and Dr. Tran are able to augment your breasts using gel or saline implants. He uses special instruments and a small camera (endoscope) to precisely create the pocket and skillfully place your new implant to enhance your breast. The result looks and feels natural and the recovery is easier; best of all you have no visible incisions on or around your breasts.
GOOD CANDIDATES FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION
Good candidates are generally healthy, do not smoke, and maintain a stable weight. You may consider breast augmentation if you want larger breasts, improved symmetry, or restored fullness following pregnancy or weight loss.
Candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that implants require ongoing monitoring and may need additional surgery in the future. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, and learn about the benefits, limitations, and risks of surgery.

BREAST IMPLANT TYPES
Implants come in different sizes, profiles, and gel consistencies. Your surgeon will help you select an option based on your proportions, tissue coverage, and desired appearance.
Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants contain sterile saltwater and are filled after insertion, which may allow a smaller incision. They can provide increased fullness, although visible rippling may be more noticeable in patients with limited breast tissue. If a saline implant ruptures, the breast typically loses volume as the body absorbs the saline.
Silicone Breast Implants (Gummy Bear)
Silicone implants are prefilled with silicone gel and often feel more similar to natural breast tissue. Highly cohesive options, sometimes called “gummy bear” implants, use a firmer gel that helps maintain their shape.
Incision and Implant Placement Options
Incision placement depends on your anatomy, implant selection, and surgical plan. An inframammary incision sits in the fold beneath the breast and provides direct access to the implant pocket. A periareolar incision follows part of the border between the areola and surrounding skin. A transaxillary incision, used for S.I.M.P.L.E. breast augmentation, allows implant placement through the underarm.
Implants may be positioned above the chest muscle, beneath the muscle, or in a dual-plane position, with the implant partially covered by muscle. Dr. Sárraga will recommend placement based on your breast tissue, activity level, and desired contour. Each option has benefits and trade-offs that will be reviewed during your consultation.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Swelling, soreness, tightness, and temporary changes in breast sensation can occur after surgery. Your surgeon will explain what to expect and when you can return to work, exercise, lifting, and other activities.
Breast shape and position will continue to settle as swelling improves. Attend your follow-up visits so your surgeon can monitor healing, and follow your postoperative instructions closely. Recovery varies according to implant placement, surgical technique, and whether additional procedures are performed.

Natural Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift Options
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to collect fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or hips. The fat is processed and injected into the breasts to provide a modest increase in fullness without implants. Some transferred fat is naturally absorbed, so retained volume varies.
For patients with sagging breasts, a breast lift can remove excess skin and reshape the breasts. Combining a lift with implants or fat transfer may address both volume loss and breast position. Your surgeon will help determine whether augmentation alone or a combined procedure best supports your goals.
