What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances breast size, improves shape, and corrects asymmetry. It is performed using implants or fat transfer and can serve cosmetic or reconstructive purposes. Options include:
- Silicone Gel Implants – Soft, natural look and feel
- Saline Implants – Saltwater-filled and adjustable; ideal for versatile contouring
- Fat Transfer – Uses your own fat for a subtle, natural enhancement
Dr. Durand helps you explore the right option based on your anatomy, aesthetic preferences, and lifestyle.
Dr. Durand’s Customized Surgical Approach
Each procedure begins with a detailed consultation in our Miami office. Dr. Durand considers multiple factors to create a surgical plan designed just for you:
- Body frame and measurements – Guides ideal implant size and profile
- Desired outcome – Reflects your personal vision and lifestyle
- Skin elasticity and breast tissue – Informs implant placement and support
- Incision location – Inframammary (under the breast) or periareolar (around the nipple) for discreet healing
- Implant placement – Submuscular or subglandular, depending on anatomy and aesthetic goals
- Profile and texture – High, moderate, or low projection; smooth or textured surface
“Details determine the result,” says Dr. Durand. Each choice supports a beautiful, natural, and long-lasting enhancement.
Is Breast Augmentation Right for You?
You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you:
- Desire larger or fuller breasts
- Want to correct asymmetry or restore volume lost due to aging or pregnancy
- Seek improved proportions and body confidence
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Dr. Durand will guide you through the options with transparency and care–ensuring a decision that feels right for you.
