Breast Augmentation in Phoenixville, PA | Dennis T. Monteiro, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape through precise implant placement. Plastic Surgery Specialists offers comprehensive breast augmentation services tailored to individual patient needs.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Enhance body contour when breast size feels disproportionate
• Restore breast volume after pregnancy
• Balance asymmetrical breast sizes
• Reconstruct breast tissue following surgical procedures

Implant Types and Techniques

Dr. Dennis T. Monteiro offers two primary implant options: silicone gel and saline. Each implant type presents unique advantages that will be thoroughly discussed during your personalized consultation.

Surgical Placement Options

• Directly behind breast tissue
• Underneath chest wall muscle

Procedure Overview

Breast augmentation typically requires one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Monteiro carefully selects incision locations to minimize visible scarring, with potential placement in the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial recovery within 24-48 hours, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. Most individuals return to work within a few days, following specific post-operative guidelines provided by Dr. Monteiro.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, breast augmentation carries potential risks. Dr. Monteiro ensures comprehensive patient education about possible complications, including capsular contracture, implant rupture, and sensation changes.

Important Patient Considerations

• Realistic expectations are crucial
