Breast Augmentation Introduction

Our breast augmentation in Greater Boston Area can create the figure you love, with your curves in all the right places. The surgery involves placing implants to enhance breast size and shape. The procedure is performed to create fuller breasts and resolve issues such as volume loss and asymmetry or improve smaller breasts' size. Breast augmentation surgery is meticulously planned and executed. Every detail is customized, including the implants' size, shape, projection, and type of implant – saline or silicone. When under the care of Dr. Montilla, your journey to an ideal figure will be positive and empowering, and you will create a figure you love to show off!

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is among the most popular of all plastic surgeries. The procedure involves increasing breast size by placing implants. Today's breast implants are far superior to older versions, with a soft, pliable, incredibly natural feel. When performed with the most appropriate surgical techniques, your newly enhanced breasts will have a realistic feel and bounce. In most cases, the implants are placed through an incision in the natural breast crease, where the incision line is virtually invisible once healed.

Are You a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Barring any pre-existing medical condition, most women who are unhappy with their breast size are candidates for our breast augmentation in Worcester. We cannot conclusively state that through a website, so your next step is a consultation with Dr. Richard Montilla in his Greater Greater Boston Area Area or Worcester offices. Rest assured, breast augmentation is a safe procedure for most women. In general, you must be a non-smoker, in good general health, and free from any other medical condition that could adversely affect your surgery.

What Conditions Can be Corrected by a Breast Augmentation?

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?

While the average national cost of breast augmentation is about $6,750, this number can vary greatly based upon your surgeon. During your consultation, Dr. Montilla will determine your exact needs and provide a quote based upon that. It is important to remember that you will be living with the results of breast augmentation for many years, so it may not behoove you to simply find the cheapest surgeon. Dr. Montilla is known for performing arguably the best breast augmentation Greater Boston Area has to offer with his detail-oriented, thorough approach with a high rate of patient satisfaction.

Over or Under the Muscle?

During a breast implant procedure, Dr. Montilla places saline or silicone implants under or over the pectoral muscle through incisions placed to minimize visible scarring.

What Are the Types of Implants?

Silicone

The most popular and most famous of the implant types, silicone represents the gold standard in breast implants. Over the years, these devices have been developed to the point where they are far superior to those of the past. They are FDA approved and extremely safe, as well as available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Saline

Saline implants have an outer silicone shell and are filled with saline solution. This offers the advantage of inserting a deflated implant, which takes less of a toll on the tissues. There is also the opportunity for size adjustment after the surgery.

Gummy Bear

One of the latest developments in breast implants, gummy bear implants are described by their namesake—filled with a thick silicone shell, they have a similar consistency to the popular candy. Additionally, gummy bear implants are teardrop-shaped, helping to accurately mimic the shape of a natural breast.

How Can I Customize My Implants?

Breast Implant Size

In order to cater to a broad variety of patients, breast implants come in many sizes. They are measured in cubic centimeters rather than cup size. As such, your current breast size has much to do with the size of your breast implants. During your consultation with Dr. Montilla, the two of you will determine the ideal size for you.

Breast Implant Shape

Most breast implants are perfectly round when viewed from the front, and elliptical when viewed from the side.

Types of Incisions

Depending on your unique anatomy and personal preference and the type and size of implant, the incisions will be placed around the edge of the areola, in the fold under the breast, or, more rarely, in the armpit. Your incision will primarily depend upon your chosen implant, as well as your natural anatomy.

Breast Implant Location

As with size and incision, your breast implant location will depend upon your unique circumstances. The implant may be placed above the pectoral muscle, below the pectoral muscle, or a combination of the two (dual plane). The goal is to produce the most natural appearance possible, and Dr. Montilla will make his recommendation on that basis. He will ensure you are informed and in agreement before moving forward with surgery.


What is the Difference Between a Breast Augmentation and a Breast Lift?

Breast augmentation and breast lift are two distinct cosmetic surgical procedures, each serving unique purposes and addressing different aspects of breast appearance:

Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammoplasty):

Objective: Breast augmentation is performed with the primary goal of increasing breast size and volume. This procedure is favored by individuals seeking larger breasts or aiming to restore volume lost due to factors like pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

Procedure: In breast augmentation, silicone or saline implants are surgically placed either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle to augment breast size and enhance the overall shape.

Lift: While breast augmentation can result in some degree of lift, especially when implants are positioned beneath the chest muscle, its primary purpose is not to correct significant breast sagging

Breast Lift (Mastopexy):

Objective: A breast lift is primarily performed to address breast sagging or droopiness (ptosis). It is chosen by individuals who are generally content with their breast size but seek to enhance the overall shape and elevation of their breasts.

Procedure: During a breast lift, surplus skin is removed, and the existing breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned to create a more youthful and uplifted appearance. When necessary, repositioning of the nipple and areola can also be part of the procedure.

Implants: A breast lift typically does not involve the use of breast implants; its primary focus is to lift and reshape the natural breast tissue.


What Should I Expect From Breast Augmentation Recovery?

Breast augmentation surgery has a reasonably easy recovery time. You can expect minor swelling and bruising but can return to your usual activities within a few days. The entire healing process is typically uneventful and only takes a few weeks to recover fully, but you will enjoy your new breasts from day one.

What Are the Risks of Breast Augmentation?

As with any surgery, there are risks during breast augmentation. Dr. Montilla performs all surgery under strict safety protocol, and has a very good record of avoiding complications. Risks from breast augmentation include anesthesia reactions, bleeding, infection, and hematoma. During your search for a breast augmentation surgeon, it is imperative you search only for a board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Montilla, to ensure you are in good hands.

Why Breast Augmentation is the Number One Cosmetic Surgery in the U.S.

The rising popularity of breast augmentation can be attributed to a number of factors, including:

What Should I Expect During the Breast Augmentation Procedure?

FAQ's

How soon can I wear a bra?

After about six weeks, you will transition from your compression garment to a standard bra. Prior to that time, the underwire of standard bras can affect the healing process.

Will I be Able to Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation?

In most cases, breast augmentation will not affect your breast glands. During your consultation with Dr. Montilla, be sure to communicate this particular concern.

How Soon After Breast Augmentation Can I Have Sex?

You will generally need to wait several weeks before you have sex. At that point, you can have sex in a gentle fashion until the tissues are fully healed.

Does Breast Augmentation Affect Mammograms?

Women with a breast augmentation can still of course receive mammograms, but they will be done in a slightly different fashion. Make sure you inform your doctor that you have undergone breast augmentation.

Why Are Implants Placed Under the Pectoral Muscle?

Depending upon your anatomy, an implant placed under the pectoral muscle may produce a more natural result. As an example, women who have small natural breasts may simply not have enough tissue to place the implant above the muscle.

Can I Enhance My Breasts Without Surgery?

Unfortunately, there is no lasting solution to breast augmentation without surgery. The most effective procedures are breast augmentation with implants, or breast augmentation with natural fat transfer.
