Minimally Invasive/Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation
In Gainesville, FL
At North Florida Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, we are proud to offer minimally invasive breast augmentation, performed by Dr. John W. Tyrone and Dr. David Mateo de Acosta.
This advanced technique places the implant under the breast tissue but above the chest muscle, allowing for a more natural look and feel while reducing downtime. By combining precise surgical methods with leading implant technology, including both Motiva breast implants and Natrelle breast implants, Dr. Mateo helps women achieve their ideal enhancement with a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Subglandular breast augmentation, also called over-the-muscle breast augmentation, involves placing the implant directly beneath the breast tissue without disturbing the chest muscle.
This placement can offer several advantages, including less post-operative discomfort, quicker recovery, and natural movement of the implant.
When combined with minimally invasive techniques, often referred to as “rapid recovery breast augmentation,” our doctors use specialized instruments and gentle surgical methods to limit swelling, bleeding, and tissue trauma. As a result, many patients are able to return to normal daily activities within just a few days instead of weeks.
Both Motiva breast implants, known for their ergonomic design, and Natrelle breast implants, valued for their wide variety of sizes and profiles, can be placed using the subglandular approach. Dr. Mateo will help you select the best option to complement your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Choosing a subglandular, minimally invasive breast augmentation offers distinct advantages:
Minimally invasive subglandular breast augmentation is a same-day procedure, meaning you can return home the very same evening. Our rapid recovery approach encourages gentle arm movement shortly after surgery to support circulation and minimize stiffness.
Because the implant is placed over the muscle, many women experience less soreness and quicker recovery compared to submuscular breast augmentation. Most patients feel ready to resume light activity and return to work within a few days, with swelling and mild discomfort resolving in the first couple of weeks.
Post-operative care includes a phone call the morning after surgery and an in-office follow-up within 10–14 days to ensure proper healing.
