Dr. Llorente specializes in the transaxillary approach to breast augmentation, an innovative technique that involves inserting the implants through a small incision in the armpit. This technique ensures that any scarring is virtually invisible. Your chosen implants are then carefully placed either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your individual needs and goals. The incisions are then closed using meticulous techniques to further minimize the risk of visible scarring.

Choosing breast augmentation at Epic Plastic Surgery offers numerous benefits:
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are in good overall health and are at least 18 years old for saline implants or 22 years old for silicone. To promote excellent healing, candidates should be non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery. It’s important to have realistic expectations about the results and be emotionally ready to undergo the surgery and recovery process. Dr. Llorente will assess your individual case during a comprehensive consultation, ensuring breast augmentation is right for you.
Recovery from breast augmentationtypically involves 1-2 weeks of reduced activity. Early on, you will need to wear a supportive surgical bra to support the healing tissues. You will gradually return to normal activities under Dr. Llorente’s guidance, attending follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
