Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2015 -- Breast implants may not be the first Valentine's Day "gift" people think of, but Dr. David Halpern of Tampa Bay Plastic Surgery Inc. says it's become quite popular in recent years. "January is always a particularly busy month for plastic surgeons, as people get started on their New Year's resolutions and prepare for Valentine's Day romance," he says. To help people achieve their goals, Dr. David Halpern is offering $500 off new patient breast augmentation booked by February 14th.

"Breast augmentation" refers to the enhancement of a woman's bust using breast implants or fat transferred from another part of the body. This type of surgery is often used to improve one's physical proportions, replace lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or enhance self-image and confidence.

Breast augmentation will not correct severely drooping breasts related to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. In these cases, a breast lift would be more appropriate. Dr. David Halpern is able to perform breast lifts in a separate operation or together along with enhancement if it will help a patient achieve her goals.

For those considering breast augmentation, Dr. David Halpern offers these quick facts:

- The procedure takes usually less than one hour.

- It is done under general anesthesia, but no hospital stay is required.

- Usually surgery is done on Thursday and most patients return to work by Monday resuming normal activities; light exercise at 2 weeks; strenuous activity at 6 weeks.

- The results are Immediate enhancement with minimal bruising.
