What Is Breast Augmentation?

Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using saline or silicone implants. The result is a more proportionate, balanced figure—and often a significant boost in self-esteem. This procedure is ideal for:

  • Women with naturally small or asymmetrical breasts
  • Individuals who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • Patients looking to restore their silhouette after mastectomy or reconstructive surgery

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

You may be a great candidate for breast augmentation in Tampa if you:

  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations for your outcome
  • Are bothered by breast size, asymmetry, or volume loss
  • Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Are a non-smoker or willing to stop prior to surgery

During your private consultation, Dr. Kreithen will review your medical history, assess your anatomy, and help determine the ideal implant type, placement, and size to fit your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Time: ~2 hours

Anesthesia: IV sedation or general anesthesia

Location: Performed at our accredited surgical center in Tampa

Surgical Steps:

  • Small incisions are made (typically in the breast crease or around the areola)
  • A pocket is created either beneath the chest muscle (submuscular) or above it (subglandular)
  • Implants are inserted and carefully positioned
  • Incisions are closed with sutures and surgical tape
  • A surgical bra is provided for support during healing

Your incision type and implant placement will be chosen based on your anatomy, implant type, and desired aesthetic outcome.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Most Tampa patients return to light activities within 3–5 days. You’ll receive detailed post-op instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Supportive garments should be worn for up to 4 weeks to help with swelling and implant stabilization. Timeline:

  • Week 1 : Swelling, soreness, and bruising begin to subside
  • Weeks 2–4: Resume light workouts and normal routines
  • Weeks 4–6: Gradually return to full activity and upper body exercises
  • 3–6 months: Final results begin to settle in

Your Results

You’ll notice an immediate difference in shape and volume, with full results becoming more visible as swelling decreases over the first few months. Most patients enjoy:

  • Fuller, rounder breasts
  • Improved cleavage and clothing fit
  • Long-lasting enhancement that boosts body image

Dr. Kreithen’s technique emphasizes balance and proportion, ensuring that your results look natural and feel comfortable.
