Dr. Steven Montante has many years of experience providing a variety of breast surgeries for his patients in Richmond, Virginia. These procedures can enhance the look of your breasts, whether you want to lift them, increase their size, or reduce their size. He is particularly proud of his Breast Reconstruction techniques for patients who have had a mastectomy.
While most breast procedures are performed on women, gynecomastia is a condition in which men develop male breasts. Dr. Montante also performs male breast reduction surgery for these patients.
Below are the breast surgery procedures that we provide in Richmond. Call us today to schedule a consultation to find out more about the surgery of your choice.
Breast Augmentation
This surgery involves the placement of breast implants (either saline or silicone) to increase breast size. Using VECTRA 3D imaging technology, our patients in Richmond can see how their breasts will look after surgery and decide on the size and shape they prefer.
Breast Lift
A Breast Lift elevates sagging breasts, restoring them to their youthful position. If your nipples point downward, this can be corrected as well. Note that this surgery does not increase the size of your breasts.
Breast Lift with Implants
If you have sagging breasts but also wish to increase their size, this is the procedure for you. Dr. Montante lifts the breasts to a higher position and inserts the implants of your choice. VECTRA 3D imaging technology can help you see how you will look following your breast surgery in Richmond.
Breast Reduction
Women with heavy breasts often suffer from neck, shoulder, and back pain. A breast reduction can alleviate this pain, eliminate self-consciousness, and provide a more proportionate figure. This surgery is sometimes covered by insurance.
Breast Reconstruction
After cancer and mastectomy, Breast Reconstruction in Richmond can restore your breasts to a normal appearance. Dr. Montante is well-versed in all of the latest reconstruction techniques and will devise the surgical plan that is best for your anatomy and circumstances. This surgery is generally covered by insurance.
Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer is an alternative to breast augmentation with implants, or it can be used along with implants to optimize breast shape. Fat is removed from the lower body (usually the abdomen or buttocks) through Liposuction and reinjected into the breasts to make them larger or to fill in areas that are misshapen.
Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes the development of male breast tissue. This surgery reduces the appearance of male breasts for a masculine-looking chest.
Transgender Top Surgery
Dr. Montante is pleased to offer breast surgery in Richmond for patients who are transitioning from female to male. In this procedure, the female breasts are removed so that the chest looks masculine.
