Customize your breast augmentation benefits
Enhance breast volume and shape
A breast augmentation surgery helps with enhancing volume and overall projection, which allows our patients to achieve a more balanced, proportionate structure.
Restore breast volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss
Sometimes, during pregnancy or weight changes, patients experience some volume loss and deflation. Obtaining a breast augmentation can correct this concern while delivering natural-looking results.
Improve breast symmetry
When having a breast augmentation, your surgeon could mix and match implant sizes or combine it with fat grafting to help you achieve a more symmetrical look and improve balance.
Correct breast ptosis (sagging)
Sometimes, when there's mild sagging, adding volume to the breasts with a breast augmentation can help you correct it. If you deal with extra sagginess, you can combine your breast augmentation with a breast lift for a more elevated result.
Refine breast proportions to suit overall body shape
Your surgeon will create a custom surgical plan with implant types, profiles, and placement to complement your natural anatomy, size, structure, and desired aesthetic goals.
Support improved confidence and body image
Patients often report a boost in confidence after getting a breast augmentation surgery. This type of procedure also enhances comfort when wearing a certain type of clothing, like fitted tops and swimwear. These approaches enhance your natural shape, and we deliver results that feel like you.

Awards and recognition
Where will my breast augmentation incisions be placed?
During your consultation, your breast surgeon will explain the different types of incisions we offer. Each patient has a different anatomy, preference for implant size and type, and aesthetic goals. Each incision placement is designed to support and optimize the final results.
Common breast augmentation incision options
Inframammary fold (IMF)
This small incision is placed in the natural breast crease. This is the most common type of incision, which offers optimal access to the internal issue and offers a discreet scar that is hidden under the breast once the implant settles.
Periareolar
This incision is placed around the border of the areola (the pigmented skin around the nipple). This incision allows your surgeon to reach the precise area where the implant will be placed. Once the incision is healed, it blends with the natural color of the areola.
Transaxillary
This incision is placed in the natural underarm fold. This technique doesn’t leave any scars around the breast area. However, a proper evaluation needs to happen because this technique is not appropriate for every patient or implant type.
Based on your goals and anatomy, your breast augmentation surgeon will help you decide which type of incision best fits you during your consultation. This allows all of our patients to make informed decisions.
Breast implant placement: over vs. under the muscle
Another key decision is the placement or position of your breast implant. This decision can be affected by your type of lifestyle and anatomy, and your surgeon will help you choose the best option for your chest muscles (pectoralis major).
Your surgeon will carefully evaluate your anatomy, breast tissue, and goals to recommend the ideal implant placement for your body.
Under the Muscle
Sub-muscular
This is the most common placement for breast implants. The implant is placed partially beneath the pectoral muscle. This type of placement achieves a more natural result and better implant coverage. This technique is beneficial for patients with thinner breast tissue. It may also reduce the risk of complications like rupture and capsular contracture and minimize visible rippling.
Over the Muscle
Sub-glandular
This implant placement sits right behind the breast tissue but on top of the muscle. Placing the implant over the muscle can offer a more dramatic round look, with quicker recovery. This option is good for patients with a good and healthy amount of natural breast tissue.
Dual Plane
The dual plane technique is typically used for those patients with signs of mild sagging, improving their shape and contour. This advanced technique places the implant partly under the muscle and partly under the breast tissue, combining the benefits of both placements.
What type of breast implants should I choose?
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a variety of breast implant types in Fort Lauderdale to help you achieve your ideal breast shape, feel, and overall look. Here are the benefits of each implant type:
Silicone Implants
- Filled with cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.
- Often preferred for their soft, natural feel and lower risk of visible rippling.
- Available in a wide range of sizes and profiles to customize your look.
Saline Implants
- Filled with sterile saltwater solution.
- Inserted empty and filled after placement, allowing for smaller incisions.
- Tend to feel firmer than silicone; rupture is easily detectable and the body safely absorbs the saline.
Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)
- Involves removing fat from another area of your body (such as the abdomen or thighs) through liposuction, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts.
- Offers a subtle, natural enhancement without implants.
- Best suited for patients seeking a modest volume increase or natural contour refinement.
- May be used alone or in combination with implants to improve contour and upper pole fullness.
Your surgeon will guide you through these options and help you choose the best implant type (or combination approach) based on your goals, lifestyle, and anatomy.

Breast augmentation consultation process
01 Complete our form
Fill out our virtual consult form online, so that we can get some more information about you and what you specific needs. Be sure to include any concerns and questions that you have for our staff or surgeons. There is also an option to attach photos for the surgeon to review when evaluating your case.
02 Receive a proposal
In most cases, you’ll receive a proposal within 24 hours of submitting a request via email from your assigned patient care consultant. This will show a breakdown of pricing, what’s included, and next steps to move forward with the surgery. You’ll also be able to contact your consultant moving forward with any questions or concerns about your surgery.
03 Submit photos for review
In order to move forward with your surgery, the surgeon must evaluate your body and your specific goals. Patients can either submit photos including multiple angles (front, both profiles, and back) along with comments about their goals and concerns, or can schedule a video call at their convenience to virtually meet with the surgeon. We offer virtual consultations with Dr. Robert Cucin, Dr. John Pinnella, Dr. Brandon Elnekaveh, and Dr. Rohan Policherla. We also offer in-person consultations with a $500 deposit that goes towards the overall cost of your surgery.
04 Get approved
After your consultation, whether by submitting photos, video call, or in-person, the surgeon will create a surgical plan and approve you as a candidate for surgery. The surgeon might also suggest another procedure. Your patient care consultant will reach out to you to confirm the surgeon’s approval and answer any remaining questions you may have.
05 Leave deposit to hold price
Once you are ready to move forward, you can leave a $500 deposit using a credit card, cash, or one of our trusted financing partners. This deposit goes towards the overall cost of your surgery. Deposits are non-refundable, but remain as a center credit for a period of one year.
06 Schedule surgery
After you leave your deposit, you are ready to schedule your surgery. Our scheduling supervisor will reach out to you and choose dates for your pre-operative and surgical appointments that work for you. If you’re not ready to schedule right away, just let us know when to reach out and we will be happy to follow up at a later time.

Internal Bra Support
Enhanced results for beautiful, long-lasting breast augmentation.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we offer the latest technology, and this is why some patients may be candidates to add the internal bra using Durasorb mesh. This advanced bioabsorbable material helps you provide additional support (just like a bra) and stabilization during your breast augmentation or revision surgery.
The internal bra acts as an invisible scaffold, it reinforces the tissue and helps the breast tissue and new implants to sit higher, maintain the shape for a longer period of time, and achieve your desired position. This mesh can’t be felt, and when it absorbs, it produces and stimulates the creation of collagen around your breast tissue.
How the internal bra works
- The internal bra is created by placing a lightweight surgical mesh inside the breast pocket during surgery.
- This temporary support helps maintain implant position while the body heals.
- As the mesh naturally is absorbed over several months, it stimulates new collagen production, strengthening the tissue and leaving behind natural support.
- The result: long-term improved implant positioning and reduced risk of bottoming out or downward migration.
Key benefits of internal bra placement
- Helps implants sit higher on the chest wall for a more youthful breast contour.
- Provides additional support for patients with weakened tissue or revision cases.
- Encourages natural collagen production to create lasting internal support.
- Enhances aesthetic control, improving long-term shape and symmetry
Not all patients are required to add an internal mesh bra to their surgery. But for those who are looking to get additional support or are interested in going for a bigger size of implants, this technique will help you maintain your results for longer.
During your consultation with our breast augmentation experts in Fort Lauderdale, your surgeon will explain how you can benefit from the internal mesh bra and if you’re a candidate.
Surgery and recovery process
30 - 1 Day Before Surgery
Before your surgery date, you will have a consultation with your surgeon to finalize your surgical plan, blood work will be done at this time, and any necessary medical clearance will be provided.
Surgery Day
Primary breast augmentation takes around 1-2 hours, depending on the surgical plan and if your procedure is being combined with other techniques. This is an outpatient procedure, so all of our patients can return home the same day with detailed post-operative care.
1 Day Post Op
Rest is your #1 priority for the first 24-48 hours; swelling, tightness, and bruising are normal. You’ll be wearing a post-surgical bra to support your implants and optimize recovery.
1 Week Post Op
You will be scheduled to come back to our office one week after your surgery, and your surgeon will monitor the incision area. You might start feeling more comfortable, but strenuous movement is completely limited.
1 Month Post Op
Patients are now clear for light activities and return to their normal lifestyle, still avoiding pressure around the area. Your surgeon still recommends wearing your post-surgical bra for support and to keep subsiding swelling.
2-12 Months Post Op
Patients can see the final results. Scars are almost invisible, and implants are softer and reaching their final position. You can see refinements up to a year after surgery.

Oustanding results!
I recently had a procedure done by Dr. Brandon and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. From start to finish, every aspect of my journey exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Brandon and their team. The moment I stepped into the office, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nurse Tamika made me feel at ease, addressing all my concerns with patience and understanding. Her kindness went a long way in calming my pre-surgery nerves.
Dr. Brandon and staff (nurse Laura, Miriam, Maria, Valencia, Laura, Carolina) exude professionalism. Dr. Brandon and Nurse Laura were thorough in explaining the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. I felt fully informed and confident in my decision to proceed. The results of my procedure are truly remarkable! Dr. Brandon’s skill and attention to detail are evident in the natural-looking outcome. Thoroughly impressed by the results.
The exceptional care continued after surgery. The follow-up appointments were comprehensive, and the staff was always so kind and patient. I am so appreciative for their flexibility with scheduling also! Thanks Tamika and Jacqueline. If you’re considering plastic surgery, you’ll be in excellent hands with Dr. Brandon and team. They offer comfort, professionalism, and outstanding results!

Beyond pleased with the experience
My wife had a breast augmentation today with Dr. Brandon. We’re both beyond pleased with the experience. So far, it looks great. The doctor was easy to talk to. Explained everything. They didn’t treat you like money and throw you right out fast after the procedure was done. They allowed my wife to recover nicely there instead of rushing her out. The after care has been surprisingly good. The doctor himself reached out late the night of the surgery. It’s more expensive than other places but worth the extra for sure. They don’t run you through a bunch of BS before surgery they’re very to the point and I love that.

Thank you so much Dr. Brandon!
Dr. Brandon did an amazing job on my breast augmentation, lift with mesh bra. Impressive bedside manner, he really listens to concerns/wants and is very thorough. I came from out of town and was so impressed that Dr. Brandon called me the night before to see how I was feeling and discuss any concerns. The staff was also so great to work with remotely and in-person. I am only 1 week post-op so far and very happy with how my final results are coming out so far. Can’t wait to see my final results. Thank you so much Dr. Brandon!

Frequently asked breast augmentation questions
How much does breast augmentation cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Breast augmentation in Fort Lauderdale at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery starts at $1,999 (anesthesia and surgeon fees not included). Your final quote will depend on your final surgical plan, provided by your surgeon. The type of implants, size, placement, and whether you add a lift or internal bra will also affect your quote. We offer flexible financing options, and your coordinator will help you with the whole process.
What type of implants should I choose — saline or silicone?
Both types of implants offer beautiful final results, but each has unique benefits. Silicone implants feel softer and have a more natural feel to them; they also minimize any visible rippling and have a lower chance of capsular contracture. Saline implants are filled during surgery, which allows for smaller incisions and easy detection of rupture. Your surgeon will evaluate your goals and help you decide the best type that fits your lifestyle and anatomy.
What is the difference between over-the-muscle and under-the-muscle implant placement?
Over-the-muscle (subglandular) placement is placed directly behind the breast tissue, which creates a more prominent projection and a fuller shape. Under-the-muscle (submuscular) placement sits beneath the pectoral muscle, which provides additional implant coverage, a more natural contour, and lowers the risk of any complications such as capsular contracture. The right placement for you depends on your overall lifestyle and anatomy. Your surgeon will evaluate you and choose the best option for you.
Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation in Fort Lauderdale?
Patients are good candidates for augmentation when they are looking to enhance their overall breast tissue. Take into consideration that other procedures can be combined if you deal with sagginess or excess skin that needs to be removed with a breast lift.
How long does breast augmentation surgery take?
Breast augmentation takes around 1-2 hours if it’s a primary procedure. We perform outpatient procedures so all of our patients can go home once they are awake and stable. The duration of your surgery depends on your implant type, incision, and whether you added additional techniques like a mesh bra, breast lift, or fat transfer.
What is the recovery time after breast augmentation?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities that don’t require lifting their arms for the first 5-7 days. Strenuous exercise and activities, especially those involving the upper body, should be fully avoided for the next 4-6 weeks. Swelling, tightness, and bruising are expected after a breast augmentation surgery. Final results are typically visible around 6-12 months.
Will I need to wear a special bra after surgery?
Yes — you will leave the recovery room already wearing a post-surgical bra. This garment helps you support your new implants, reduce swelling, and help you maintain the placement of your breast tissue. It is important to follow instructions and wear this garment as much as possible. Your surgeon will clear you so you can stop wearing it.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime; they can last around 10-20 years or longer, depending on your anatomy and lifestyle. Even though there are no lifetime devices, a lot of patients don’t require a replacement unless they desire a change in sizing or experience some type of complication like a rupture or capsular contracture. It is important to keep up with regular check-ups. Your surgeon will recommend the best and long-lasting technology, like Motiva and Natrelle.
What are the risks or complications of breast augmentation?
As with any surgery, potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, implant rupture, or capsular contracture (tightening of scar tissue around the implant). These complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an expert plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. Following your post-op care instructions helps minimize risks and promotes a smooth recovery. Our team provides detailed guidance to ensure your safety and peace of mind at every step.
What is a breast augmentation with fat transfer?
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to harvest fat from other areas of the body, which is then purified and injected into the breasts. It is ideal for patients seeking a subtle, natural enhancement without implants, or for refining implant results.
Can breast augmentation correct asymmetry?
Yes — breast augmentation can improve breast symmetry by using different implant sizes or placement techniques to create a more balanced appearance.
What is an internal bra, and do I need it?
An internal bra is a temporary support structure created using absorbable mesh (such as DuraSorb®). It helps stabilize implants, maintain higher positioning, and support tissue while healing. It may be recommended for patients with thinner tissue, revision surgery, or large implants.
Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed?
Many women can still breastfeed after breast augmentation. The risk of affecting breastfeeding depends on implant placement and incision type. Your surgeon will discuss these options to help minimize any impact on future breastfeeding.
When will I see my final results after breast augmentation?
Initial results are visible within the first few weeks, but final results continue to improve as swelling resolves and implants settle. Most patients see their final breast shape and position within 3–6 months after surgery.
Will I lose nipple sensation after breast augmentation?
Loss of nipple sensation is a possibility after breast augmentation, but it is typically temporary. Some patients may experience changes in sensitivity—either increased or decreased—especially in the weeks following surgery. In most cases, sensation returns within a few months. Permanent loss of nipple sensation is rare, but can occur, especially with larger implants or certain incision types. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss how incision placement and implant size may impact this risk based on your anatomy.
What is the risk of implant rupture in saline vs. silicone implants?
Both saline and silicone breast implants are FDA-approved and rigorously tested, but no implant is guaranteed to last forever.
- Saline implants typically show immediate signs of rupture (a visible deflation), making them easier to detect.
- Silicone implants may rupture silently, which is why the FDA recommends periodic MRI or ultrasound screenings to check for integrity.
The likelihood of rupture is low in the first 10 years but increases with time. Many implants last 15 years or longer without issues. Our expert surgeons will help you choose the safest and most durable option for your goals and lifestyle.
