How long does breast augmentation recovery take? +
After your Svelta Breast Sculpt™, most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Full recovery takes about 6–8 weeks.
Silicone vs. saline implants, which is better? +
Both options are safe, FDA-approved, and available with the Svelta Breast Sculpt™. Silicone implants, which we source exclusively from Sientra, tend to feel more natural, while saline implants can be adjusted in size. Our surgeons will help you choose the best option during your consultation.
Can I finance my breast augmentation? +
Yes. We offer CareCredit, in-house layaway plans, and other financing options. Many patients pay less than $200/month. Visit our financing page for more details.
How long do breast implants last? +
Modern breast implants are designed to last 10-20 years or more. They do not need to be replaced on a set schedule unless you experience complications or desire a change.
Which breast implant brand do you use? +
For every silicone gel breast augmentation, Svelta uses Sientra exclusively. Sientra implants are FDA-approved, manufactured in the United States, and backed by the Platinum20 Lifetime Warranty, which covers both rupture and capsular contracture. Saline implants remain available for patients who prefer that option.
Should I choose implants or fat transfer? +
Implants give a more predictable, lasting increase in size, and they suit patients who want a noticeable change in volume. Fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own fat, harvested with liposuction, for a softer and more subtle result, and recovery for light activities is typically 1 to 2 weeks. Fat transfer at Svelta starts at $4,500. Learn more on our
fat transfer to breast page, or ask about both options at your consultation.
What's the difference between breast augmentation and a breast lift? +
Breast augmentation adds volume using implants, while a breast lift repositions and reshapes sagging breast tissue without significantly changing size. Many patients need one, the other, or both together, depending on whether the main concern is size, position, or both. Learn more on our
breast lift page.
Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed? +
It can, depending on incision location and individual anatomy. If you're planning to breastfeed in the future, raise this during your consultation so your surgeon can factor it into the technique recommendation.
Can breast augmentation be combined with a breast lift or tummy tuck? +
Yes. Breast augmentation is commonly combined with a breast lift for patients who want both added volume and a firmer position, or as part of a full mommy makeover alongside a tummy tuck. Your surgeon will confirm which combination fits your goals and anatomy during consultation.
Is breast augmentation covered by insurance? +
Cosmetic breast augmentation is considered an elective procedure and is not typically covered by insurance. Financing options like CareCredit and in-house payment plans are available to help make the cost manageable.
Should implants be placed above or below the muscle? +
Implants can be placed either above (subglandular) or below (submuscular) the chest muscle. Your surgeon will recommend the placement that best fits your anatomy, implant type, and aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Will I have visible scars after breast augmentation? +
Some scarring is a normal part of any breast augmentation, though the pattern and length depend on incision location and implant type. Scars typically fade significantly over time and are positioned to be as inconspicuous as possible.
How much does breast augmentation cost in Miami? +
Breast augmentation at Svelta starts at $2,800, with a typical range of $2,800 to $12,000. The final cost depends on implant type, surgeon, anesthesia, and technique, and the surgical facility and anesthesia are included in the total procedure cost. For a full breakdown, see our
breast augmentation cost guide.
How do I choose the right implant size? +
Your surgeon recommends a size based on measurements of your chest, your frame, and your goals, and uses 3D imaging so you can preview options before surgery. Implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not bra cup sizes. Learn more in our
breast implant size guide.
Are breast augmentation consultations free? +
Yes. Breast augmentation consultations at Svelta are complimentary. You meet with our team to discuss your goals, review implant options, including Sientra silicone, saline, and fat transfer, and receive a personalized plan.
