What To Know About A Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation in DC

Posted on August 3, 2020July 27, 2020 by dcadmin

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures available. Women choose breast augmentation for a variety of reasons such as to increase their breast size, improve their breast symmetry, and achieve the breasts they’ve always wanted. For some women, implants are the best option, but for those with excess unwanted fat in other areas of their body, a fat grafting augmentation may be a good choice.

Breast augmentation with fat grating in DC

The typical breast augmentation using an implant can reshape and resize your breasts, a breast augmentation with fat grafting can achieve a similar result by using an injection of fat from your own body. Benefits you can experience from the procedure are:

Enlarged breasts
Breast symmetry
Increased cleavage
Targeting of unwanted fat deposits
Minimal scarring
Increased confidence

Your consultation with our DC plastic surgeons

During your consultation, we will discuss your goals for your breasts, your lifestyle, and how best to achieve what you want. We can go through the benefits of each type of augmentation to decide if fat grafting is right for you. We recommend that patients are at least 18 years of age, not currently nursing or pregnant, have realistic expectations, and wish to increase the size and symmetry of their breasts. We can also discuss combining this procedure with others that may benefit you such as liposuction to remove other unwanted fat.

Our doctors perform technically advanced procedures to provide the best possible results for our patients while keeping your safety and well-being top of mind. We take the time to discuss your procedure from beginning to end so that you understand what to expect and feel comfortable prior to your procedure.

What You Need To Know About Breast Augmentations in DC

Posted on July 31, 2020July 6, 2020 by dcadmin

Chances are you know someone who has either had a breast augmentation procedure or has considered undergoing the procedure. Breast augmentations are one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures every year according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The procedure can be used to enlarge your breasts (a little or a lot), even out the size of your breasts, and help you achieve the breasts you’ve always dreamed of. But, before undergoing the procedure, there are some things you should know.

Breast augmentations in DC – What to know

Not all breast augmentations are the same, just as not all breasts are the same. Every patient has different goals for their breasts and different starting points. When you come in for a consultation for breast augmentation, consider the following:

There are several types of breast implants available– We offer three types of implants: Ideal, silicone, and saline. We also offer breast augmentations achieved through fat grafting which involves taking fat from other areas of your body and injecting them into your breast. Depending on your current breasts and goals for them, we’ll discuss the benefits of each procedure and make recommendations as to what type would best achieve your goals.
What size you’re hoping to achieve– You should consider what size you want your breasts to be. Are you looking for a major change or just a little boost? This can affect the type of implant and implant size we use during your procedure, or what a fat grafting procedure would involve to achieve your desired size.
Your lifestyle– You should consider how active of a lifestyle you have. For example if you’re a runner it can be difficult to keep up your activity level with large breasts.
Your age and future plans– We recommend that you be at least 18 years of age before undergoing the procedure to ensure full development of your breasts. You should also consider whether or not you want to have children and what your plan will be as your breasts change over time. These are things we can discuss during your consultation to ensure you’re satisfied with your results for years to come.

Get The Trim Midsection You’ve Always Wanted With A Tummy Tuck In DC

Posted on July 27, 2020July 6, 2020 by dcadmin

Whether you have loose hanging skin from pregnancy, weightloss, or aging, a tummy tuck may be able to help you achieve the midsection of your dreams. Many who have become mothers or have experienced significant weight loss notice their stomach has stretch marks and loose skin left behind. While this is totally natural, some are left feeling less than confident in their skin and notice that no diet or exercise seems to make a difference. If you’re ready to see what you can do to improve the look of your tummy, contact us and we’ll see if the Washington, DC tummy tuck is right for you.

Benefits of a tummy tuck procedure

There are several benefits that patients can receive from undergoing the tummy tuck procedure, including:

A flatter stomach area
Removal of loose hanging skin
Reduced size of the waist and hiplines
Tightening of the stomach muscles
A boost in overall confidence and self-image

What the DC tummy tuck procedure involves

Not all tummy tucks are the same. Many people assume that every tummy tuck involves a full hip to hip incision to remove excess skin and fat in the stomach area. While this type of procedure is required for some patients to achieve their goals, some patients may require more or less work to achieve their body goals. There is the full tummy tuck (the commonly thought of hip to hip incision), the mini (which involves a smaller incision and liposuction), and the extended (which can involve the hip to hip incision and possibly the lower back).

During your consultation with the experts at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery, we’ll discuss your current body and what you would like to achieve to come up with a plan that will help you achieve your goals. We’ll go through the procedure from start to finish with you so you understand what to expect and how we will approach the procedure to get certain results. We’ll also answer any questions you have so you feel informed and confident before deciding to undergo the procedure.

5 Facts About Breast Implants in DC You Need To Know

Posted on July 21, 2020June 24, 2020 by dcadmin

While breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, there are many things you may not know about the procedure. If you’re considering breast implants, here are a few things you should know.

DC breast implant facts:

Not all implants are made equal– We offer 3 different types of implants, saline, silicone, and ideal. Each implant can give you a different look and feel so it’s important to consider your specific goals when choosing an implant.
Breast implants can improve your breast shape– Many people assume that breast implants are simply to increase the size of your breasts, but what you may not know is that breast implants can be used to improve their overall shape and symmetry. Some patients come to us, not necessarily looking for a large increase in size, they simply want to give their breasts a rounder shape and improve the symmetry of their breasts.
You should not be pregnant or nursing when you undergo the procedure– It is unsafe to perform a breast augmentation on a pregnant woman. Furthermore, even after pregnancy, a woman who is breastfeeding should not undergo the procedure. Following breastfeeding your breast size can change rapidly, making it hard to truly gauge the size implant needed.
You can combine other procedures with breast implants to achieve your goals– Many of our patients come to us with more than one goal in mind. Whether you’re looking to add a breast lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction, or butt lift we can work with you to find the right combination of procedures to achieve your goals.
You can still get mammograms with breast implants– A common question we’ve heard is “Can I get mammograms with breast implants?” The answer is yes. Breast implants can withstand the activity of a mammogram and we highly recommend receiving a yearly mammogram beyond the age of 40.

We pride ourselves on achieving the best possible result for our patients. We’ll listen to your goals in your consultation and evaluate your specific case before coming up with a plan to achieve your breast goals.

Do Something For Yourself With a Mommy Makeover in DC

Posted on June 30, 2020June 24, 2020 by dcadmin

Becoming a mother is one of the most life-changing experiences a woman can go through. Your routine, lifestyle, and body all go through major changes and many women put their own needs on the backburner after having kids. While you eventually get used to your new routine and lifestyle, you may not get used to the changes in your body. While exercise and diet can help, it can be difficult to find the time to truly take care of your body and even if you can, it doesn’t always get you where you want to be. If you’re ready to see a positive change in your body and do something for yourself, a mommy makeover may be a great option for you.

Why so many women choose a mommy makeover in DC

The mommy makeover procedure is designed to be tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Whether you need liposuction, a tummy tuck, breast lift, or breast enhancement the procedure is meant to be altered depending on your needs. After pregnancy, it can be extremely hard to lose the baby weight and most women experience changes in their breasts that can’t be reversed no matter how much exercise you do. During your consultation with the doctors at Bruno | Brown, we’ll discuss your areas of insecurity and come up with a plan to achieve your goals. The procedure can achieve the following:

Slimmer midsection– Through one or more procedures, our doctors can remove excess skin, reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and remove excess fat giving you a more trim appearance.
Perkier breasts– We can consider a lift, augmentation, and/or a reduction depending on your needs. Breastfeeding can leave your breasts saggy and many women experience either excess breast tissue or their breasts look deflated. We’ll take a look at your needs when deciding on which procedure, or procedures, are right for you.
Improved confidence– Following the procedure, many women feel more confident in their own skin.

Considerations for your DC mommy makeover consultation

When you’ve decided to consult with a doctor for a mommy makeover it’s important to consider your overall health, your goals, and whether you’re planning on having more children or not. These are all factors that play a role in whether the procedure is right for you. Our doctors will take a look at your case and goals then discuss the next steps. We keep our patient’s safety and well-being top of mind and want to ensure we’re able to provide the best possible result leaving you confident and in control of your body.
