Dr. S. Darrell Lee walks you through every step of the selection process during your consultation. The first thing you discuss in this meeting is your ideal breast shape and size. Comparing your current tissue amount to your desired breast size allows Dr. S. Darrell Lee to recommend how many CCs of saline or silicone you need.

Alongside the size of the implant, you choose between our available shapes. Most patients tend to choose a round option. This helps the breasts look natural while adding volume to the top portion of the breast. You also select the projection of your implants at this step, which is what you see from the side profile. The most common projections include low, intermediate, high, or ultra high.

In terms of what material your implants should be made of, Dr. S. Darrell Lee always considers your unique body when suggesting either silicone or saline. Keep in mind that you can receive saline implants if you are at least 18 years old, but only those aged 22 and up can augment their breasts using our gummy bear silicone. In addition to this popular choice, we also offer fat transfers.

No two patients are alike, and neither are their breast implants. At Lee Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, we offer a diverse range of shapes, sizes, and materials for our implants. Your consultation determines the exact pricing of your implants, which you discuss with Dr. S. Darrell Lee.

Our team starts by answering any questions you may have while getting you comfortable in our preoperative room. Then, we put you under general anesthesia in the operation room to prevent you from experiencing pain during the procedure. You should arrange for transportation because of this, as you will not be safe to drive after waking up from your breast augmentation in Port St. Lucie.

During the surgery, Dr. S. Darrell Lee makes precise incisions into your skin before pulling it back. After making room for the implants, he performs either a submuscular, dual plane placement (under the pectoral muscle), or submammary/subglandular placement (over the pectoral muscle). The placement strategy differs based on the size and shape of your breast and skin envelope.

Once your implants are secure, you can begin your recovery process. This may involve swelling and bruising, which should subside in about 2 weeks. After this, you can see your initial results, with full results appearing after about 3 to 6 months. You can enjoy your augmented breasts for as long as you maintain your implants alongside your current weight.
