Beautiful, Balanced, and Confident

Exploring Your Breast Surgery Options with Buglino Plastic Surgery

At Buglino Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Anthony Buglino and his team believe that beauty—and confidence—come from harmony: procedure choices that respect your frame, goals, and lifestyle. From subtle volume enhancements to life-changing reductions or reconstructions, our breast services are designed to help you feel more balanced, natural, and empowered.

Here’s what patients should know as they begin their journey:

1 | Understanding the Breast Procedures We Offer

(And how to choose what’s right for you)

Buglino Plastic Surgery provides a full range of breast procedures—both cosmetic and reconstructive—to match your unique goals.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using silicone or saline implants, or in select cases, fat transfer. During your consultation, you’ll explore implant shapes, profiles, textures, and placement options. Dr. Buglino provides personalized guidance to help you select a result that complements your natural proportions.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift is ideal for women experiencing droop or sagging but who are satisfied with their current volume. This procedure restores a youthful shape and position, and it can be combined with augmentation for added fullness.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery relieves discomfort from heavy breasts, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, and helps achieve a more proportionate silhouette. Dr. Buglino offers multiple techniques—vertical, inverted-T, or liposuction-assisted—based on your anatomy and goals. In many cases, reductions may also be considered medically necessary and partially covered by insurance.

Breast Reconstruction

For patients who have undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy, breast reconstruction helps restore symmetry and confidence. Dr. Buglino provides compassionate guidance through every stage, ensuring results that feel both natural and empowering.

2 | How We Approach Your Consultation & Implant Selection

Your consultation is a key step in creating a personalized surgical plan. At Buglino Plastic Surgery, this process is collaborative, transparent, and patient-focused.

Here’s what to expect:

Preparation: Bring questions, reference photos, and wear comfortable clothing for the physical exam.
Discussion: Review your medical history, goals, and expectations while Dr. Buglino explains techniques, incision options, recovery timelines, and financing.
Physical Exam & Sizers: You’ll try on implant sizers and discuss different volumes and profiles to find your perfect fit.
Deciding & Scheduling: Together, you’ll create a timeline that fits your lifestyle and ensures the best recovery experience possible.

3 | Safety, Risks & Realistic Expectations

Every surgical procedure requires careful planning and patient education. Dr. Buglino and his team are committed to safety, predictable outcomes, and realistic expectations.

Key considerations include:

Implant types and safety: You’ll review the benefits of saline vs. silicone implants and other technical details.
Risks and complications: As with any surgery, there are potential risks such as infection, scarring, or changes in sensation, which will be discussed in detail.
Recovery: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. Full results emerge gradually over several months.
Long-term planning: Implants may eventually require revision, and life changes such as pregnancy or weight fluctuations can affect results.
