Breast Augmentation

Plastic Surgery Tampa Bay

Breast augmentation is a very personal choice. The decision is based on your lifestyle and the vision you have for yourself.

Because of the advancements in plastic surgery these procedures are much less invasive, breast augmentation options include the placement of either soft silicone or saline implants underneath the breast tissue via a small incision. Typically, the implants are inserted beneath the pectoralis muscle to present a tapered and natural looking breast enhancement.

While breast augmentations are more and more prevalent, it is still major surgery. Since any doctor can actually claim to be a cosmetic or plastic surgeon, one of your first steps is to know the credentials of your plastic surgeon. A good place to start is the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This organization holds its members to exceptionally high standards to ensure that their training and experience completely qualifies them to engage in these practices.

In addition to Dr. Aguiar's board certification in plastic surgery, he is a member in good standing with the ASPS and meets their stringent qualifications:

• Has at least 6 years of training and experience in surgery with at least 3 years of plastic surgery experience
• Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery or The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
• Operates only in accredited medical facilities
• Adheres to a strict code of ethics
• Fulfills continuing education requirements including patient safety techniques
• Acts as your partner to work with you to achieve your goals

Your quest for a plastic surgeon in Tampa should begin with the understanding of what goes into the creation of a reputable one.
