Breast Augmentation Surgery Tampa
About Breast Augmentation Surgery
Using his expertise in breast surgery, Dr. Wayne Lee will discuss and help guide you to choose the best option for you to help achieve your goals. Breast augmentation surgery is an option for women who may feel that their breast size is somewhat inadequate in proportion to their overall figure.
This is especially true in thin, athletic women and any woman after pregnancy. Often, the most effective way to correct this condition is breast augmentation with either saline-filled or silicone gel-filled breast implants.
Breast augmentation has become one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the Tampa Bay area as well as the United States. This surgery is one of the most popular surgeries performed by Dr. Lee and he caters to each surgery to the individual.
Breast Augmentation Consultation
During your breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Lee and his staff with help determine if you are a candidate for breast augmentation. If you are a candidate then Dr. Lee will go on to discuss what type of implant is best and safest for you and your body.
Dr. Lee and his experienced staff will help you determine what implant size and shape you desire. Choices include saline or silicone, a wide variety of sizes, shapes, textures or smooth, profile, and more. Dr. Lee will consider your body type and size, your personal preferences, and your expectations when determining the best implant for you.
Both saline and silicone breast implants are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has approved saline implants for women ages 18 and older and silicone implants for women 22 and older. If you are at a younger age, saline or silicone implants may still be considered off-labeled use.

Day of Surgery
On the day of your surgery, you will arrive at our private office-based surgery center and be greeted by our experienced surgical nurse. You will then be taken to your preoperative room and provided with a warm blanket. After consents are signed and vital signs are taken, our nurse will start your IV.
Our nurse anesthetist will interview you regarding your past health and surgeries to determine what type of anesthesia will be best for you. For breast augmentation surgery, general anesthesia and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are used.
Ultrasound-guided regional and general nerve blocks are used to help provide an opioid-free/reduced anesthesia technique so that our patients go home with minimal pain and postoperative nausea. You will also see Dr. Lee on the morning of surgery before entering the operating room so you can discuss any extra expectations and ask any questions you may have.
The most common incision that is performed for breast augmentation is the inframammary incision, which is hidden in the crease below the breast. The breast implant sizer is then placed within the breast.
Dr. Lee along with his knowledgeable surgical team will help to determine which implant sizer size and shape looks best for you before selecting the final permanent implant. Before your surgery, Dr. Lee will determine if the use of the Keller Funnel™ will be used to insert your permanent breast implants. This device allows for a smaller incision, allows for easier insertion of the implant, and provides increased protection against infection and capsular contracture using a “no-touch” technique.
After your surgery, your incisions will be dressed with waterproof and antimicrobial dressings, followed by a breast binder that you will wear for 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Your nurse and nurse anesthetist will take you to your private recovery room and monitor you until you are comfortable to be discharged home. After surgery, it is normal to feel some degree of discomfort, pressure, and fatigue. Medication for pain control and antibiotics will be provided for you.
Dr. Lee conveniently schedules the majority of his surgeries on Thursdays and Fridays so you can rest over the weekend and miss a minimal amount of work. Dr. Lee and his staff will see you within the first few days after surgery to change your dressings and ensure you are well-healed.

I was referred to Dr. Lee by a friend when I began my hunt for the best plastic surgeon in Tampa. I had multiple consultations with the top-rated and “best” plastic surgeons in Tampa. To say I was unimpressed is a severe understatement… Each doctor treated me like just another piece of meat; unfortunately, this seems to be a trend across Tampa’s surgeons.
When I went to my consultation with Dr. Lee it was a breath of fresh air! I was treated like royalty by his amazing staff. I was looking to get a breast augmentation but I was concerned about looking natural, complications, etc. He took the time to explain all the different options and how they would affect me as an active young woman. There was no fluff or dodging questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and eased my every worry. Dr. Lee only had my best interests in mind and at no point did I feel pressured to get the procedure done unlike so many other surgeons pushed. By the time my surgery day came I could I knew EXACTLY what was going to happen before the surgery, after, and years down the road. He has the most meticulous attention to detail and the surgery could not have gone better!
The results? Even better than I imagined! My breasts have a beautiful shape; my scars are paper-thin, and most of all no one could ever guess I even had the procedure done. His entire staff is wonderful and I can not say enough great things about him and his staff.
I recommend if you are looking for any cosmetic procedure save yourself the time and hassle by simply going to the best surgeon in the first place!
