Breast augmentation with silicone implants is a surgical procedure focused on increasing breast volume and improving contour. Silicone implants, known for their natural look and feel, are filled with a cohesive gel designed to mimic the texture of breast tissue.
This option is often chosen for its natural appearance and texture. This procedure is often pursued for reasons such as restoring breast fullness after weight loss or pregnancy, enhancing body proportions, or improving self-esteem. Dr. Giunta, is recognized for his commitment to producing natural-looking results in breast augmentation, focusing on enhancing each patient's individual aesthetics while preserving overall body harmony and proportion.
During your initial consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic goals. Dr. Giunta will evaluate your breast anatomy and recommend the appropriate type of implant, incision placement and size to achieve your desired look. You will work together to create a customized plan that aligns with your desires, ensuring you feel informed and confident every step of the way. Dr Giunta uses an innovative Augmented Reality & 3D system (Arbrea) that simulates potential aesthetic outcomes in seconds, using only an iPad or iPhone.
The surgery typically lasts about 1-2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The chosen implant (round or anatomical) will be insert either thought an incision within the inframammary fold or in the inferior part of the areola. The implants can be positioned sub glandular (above the pectoral muscle) or submuscular (below the pectoral muscle) or in a combination of the two (dual plane) depending on individual anatomy and desired outcomes.
Prepare for a recovery period following the surgery. Dr. Giunta will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. This phase is essential for your long-term satisfaction. Most individuals can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, but exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks. After the procedure, the patient should wear a supportive bra for at least 4 weeks.
The final results are typically visible after a few months, once the implants settle and the swelling subsides. Breast implants provide a fuller, more symmetrical appearance, boosting self-confidence and body image.

Breast reconstruction is a procedure aimed at restoring the shape and appearance of the breasts following total or partial mastectomies due to breast cancer. There are two principal types of reconstruction: autologous reconstruction, which utilizes the patient's own tissue, often harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, and implant-based reconstruction, which employs silicone breast implants.
Each method presents unique advantages, such as the natural feel of autologous tissue versus the simplicity and predictability of implants. Comprehensive consultation is essential to help individuals choose the best option tailored to their specific needs and lifestyle.
The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Giunta. During this meeting, the surgeon assesses the patient’s medical history and aesthetic goals. An examination determines the most appropriate approach, whether autologous or implant based. Patients gain a clear understanding of the techniques, potential risks, and what to expect in terms of results.
Autologous Reconstruction
Autologous reconstruction involves harvesting tissue from areas such as the abdomen or thighs to create a new breast. This method often results in a natural feel and appearance since it utilizes the patient’s own tissue. While it may involve a longer recovery time due to dual surgical sites, many appreciate the natural results and the added benefit of body contouring.
Implant-Based Reconstruction
Implant-based reconstruction uses silicone breast implants to recreate breast volume. This approach can often be completed in a single surgery, with less recovery time compared to autologous methods.
Recovery varies depending on the chosen technique. For autologous reconstruction, patients may experience more extensive healing time due to tissue harvesting, and they often face swelling, bruising, and discomfort at both the donor and surgical sites. Pain management typically involves prescribed medications. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions closely, with full recovery generally taking several weeks or even months. In contrast, implant-based reconstruction usually allows for a quicker return to normal activities, with most patients resuming light activities within a week.
Ultimately, both techniques can significantly enhance self-image and quality of life. Final results develop over time, especially in the autologous reconstruction, where more often secondary procedures may be needed to improve the result.
