In addition to implant type and size, women have many other options regarding breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Tantillo is able to place incisions either under the breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit depending on your anatomy and the type of breast implant chosen. Breast implants are most commonly placed underneath the chest wall muscle, although some women choose to have the implants placed above the muscle.

Who is a Candidate for Breast Enlargement?

Last year alone, nearly 400,000 women in the United States chose breast enlargement (source: ASAPS). While every woman has her own unique reasons, many of Dr. Tantillo's patients choose this procedure because:

• They would like to have larger, fuller breasts
• They feel their breast size is disproportionate to the rest of their body
• Their breasts have lost volume after pregnancy, nursing, or significant weight loss
• They want to even out the appearance of asymmetrical breasts (one larger than the other)

All women who choose breast augmentation in Boston must be aware of the risks and responsibilities associated with breast implants. These medical devices in some cases may interfere with mammograms and self-screening for breast cancer. They also may need to be replaced, requiring additional surgery in the future. Women with breast implants are encouraged to closely follow guidelines related to care and regular screenings.

A good candidate is free from active infections, cancerous or precancerous cells in the breasts, and autoimmune diseases. Dr. Tantillo provides a comprehensive health examination for all women who come to his office for a breast enhancement consultation.

Recovery & Results

Breast enlargement is performed as an outpatient surgical procedure, meaning that you will be able to go home the day of surgery. Within the first week following breast augmentation in Boston you should be able to return to most of your normal activities, adding in exercise and other strenuous activities about two to three weeks after surgery.

Most women are very happy with the results of their breast enlargement and find their new figure invigorating. Imagine enjoying a newfound self confidence in a variety of outfits including business attire, formal wear, casual clothing, as well as swimwear and even lingerie.
