Questions to ask During Your Tummy Tuck Consultation

Posted on by dcadmin

Tummy Tuck in DCThousands of individuals undergo the tummy tuck procedure every year. Whether it’s to get back to a pre-baby body, remove excess skin from weight loss, or simply to improve the look of their tummy, we’re ready to help you achieve your tummy goals. But despite its popularity and countless articles with FAQs, there are questions you should ask during your tummy tuck consultation.

Questions for your tummy tuck consultation

  1. What procedure is right for me? We perform full, mini, and extended tummy tucks to help our patients achieve their desired look. Depending on your goals and the amount of fat/skin removal required to get there will dictate what procedure is right for you.
  2. What is your experience with the procedure? It’s important that your surgeon is well versed in the procedure you’re looking to have completed.
  3. What can I expect for recovery time? Recovery time will vary depending on the extent of your procedure so you should ask your surgeon what to expect prior to getting started. Additionally, some individuals heal faster than others so your surgeon should be able to give you an estimated recovery time based on a variety of factors. The average recovery time is roughly 2-3 weeks.
  4. Is this the best procedure for me? You may think a tummy tuck is best for you and can achieve your results but that may not be the case. In some scenarios, we recommend additional procedures to achieve your desired look. For example, a mommy makeover if you’re trying to achieve your pre-baby body or an arm or thigh lift if you have additional skin that needs to be removed.

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Implants DCAre you considering breast implants and aren’t sure where to start? Whenever you’re considering plastic surgery you want a surgeon you can trust who can recommend the best procedure for you. At Bruno|Brown we take the time to get to know our patients and their goals. When a potential patient comes to us looking for breast implants we’ll look at each implant type to ensure you’re getting the best one for you.

Types of breast implants in DC

Each implant can offer a different fullness, projection, and overall feel. We carefully select implants based on your current and desired breast appearance. Breast implants can offer you a larger appearance, more cleavage, and improved symmetry.

  • Saline implants– These implants offer a firmer feel and can be filled to your preferred volume
  • Silicone implants– Silicone implants can be filled to the desired fill for each breast and offer a more natural feel.
  • Ideal implants– Ideal implants are saline implants that provide a natural feel and youthful look without using silicone gel by using a series of implant shells nested together and two separate chambers that hold the saline.
  • Fat grafting– If you’re not entirely sold on breast implants we can consider fat grafting as an alternative using fat from your own body. Ask your doctor during your consultation to see if it’s right for you.

How to prepare for your breast implant consultation in DC

During your consultation, we’ll discuss what your goals are and the appearance you would like to achieve. This will help us decide on the type of procedure that’s right for you and in some cases, we may recommend additional procedures to achieve your ultimate goals. The purpose of your consultation is to answer your questions and find out what’s best for you and what your options are. We aim to achieve your complete satisfaction and give you the breasts you dream of.

The 3 Considerations You Should Make Before Undergoing a Breast Lift

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Lift in DCWhen it comes to the breasts, there are seemingly endless procedures that can be done to improve their appearance. Whether it’s an augmentation, a lift, or reduction there are several ways that women choose to enhance their breasts when exercise, diet, and clever bra hacks have failed to give them the appearance they desire. If you’re interested in a breast lift and/or augmentation or reduction there are a few considerations you should make.

The 3 considerations you need to make for your breast lift in DC

  1. Your desired look– It’s important to know what you want your end result to be. You may simply want your breasts to have a bit of a boost but also consider if you want to enlarge them or make them smaller in the process. This will help us decide what procedure or procedures will give you your desired result.
  2. Your lifestyle and future plans– A breast lift is a great way to give you a perkier chest that can end up making you look more youthful but consider your plans for the future before undergoing a procedure. For example, if you’re planning on having children in the future, pregnancy can drastically alter the appearance of your breasts. We typically recommend that patients do not plan to become pregnant following their procedure due to the changes in their bodies. This is something you can discuss with your doctor during your consultation.
  3. The benefits– Consider if the benefits line up with your overall goals. Prior to undergoing any cosmetic procedure, we want our patients to fully understand what the procedure involves before they commit to anything. We want to ensure it’s the right procedure for you before we get started so you’ll be completely satisfied with your results.

The incredibly popular procedure can involve a variety of implant types or a fat transfer procedure. With several options, you may be wondering which procedure is right for you. While your goals for your breasts may end up dictating which augmentation is right for you, many women opt for a fat transfer procedure as opposed to implants.

Mommy Makeover: New Year, New Body

Posted on by dcadmin

Mommy MakeoverWe all have New Year’s resolutions, many of which focus on our wellbeing both inside and outside of our body. Unfortunately for many busy moms, sometimes even with an excellent diet, exercise, and mental health routine you still have trouble reaching your goals. This year, don’t give up on your goals just because your routine isn’t working. If you’re ready to see a change in your body that can improve your confidence and give you the shape you want, a mommy makeover might be right for you.

Benefits of a mommy makeover procedure:

  • It’s meant to fit your goals– Not all mommy makeovers are the same because not all patients are the same. Some patients wish to focus only on one area of their body while others want to target several. Common areas include the breasts, tummy, and buttocks.
  • It can combine recovery times for multiple procedures– Some patients think that splitting up their procedures into several surgeries will help with recovery, but the fact is that when we do several procedures at once we can actually combine your recovery time getting you to your goals and back to normal quicker.
  • It can help boost your confidence– For many moms, the changes you see in your body following pregnancy are hard to adjust to and can seriously affect your confidence and mental health. Many of our patients report that the changes following their mommy makeover have changed their outlook for the better and they feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

Your mommy makeover consultation with Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your lifestyle and the changes you want to see in your body. From there we can recommend procedures that may benefit you and go through the specifics of each so you feel fully informed prior to making a decision.

But, when you decide a tummy tuck may be an option for you, it’s important to find a doctor you can trust.

Questions to ask your doctor during your tummy tuck consultation

  1. Is the procedure right for me? – Any time you decide to turn to a plastic surgeon, you should find out what procedure or procedures will help achieve your goals. You may go in thinking a tummy tuck is right and find out that another procedure is better for your specific goals.

  3. What’s the recovery time like? – This also varies from patient to patient, but we typically see around 2-3 weeks. Make sure to ask your doctor what you can expect so you feel prepared and informed before making a final decision.
  4. Should I combine this procedure with others? – We often have patients combine procedures to achieve their results without having to go through two separate recovery periods. If you’re interested in targeting an area beside your tummy, we can talk about other procedures that could benefit you.
  5. What is your experience with this procedure? – This is an important question to ask any plastic surgeon prior to any procedure. You want to be sure they know what they’re doing and are knowledgeable about the procedure.

Choosing the right doctor for your tummy tuck procedure

The 4 Things You Need to Know About Breast Reductions

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Reduction DCDo you suffer from overdeveloped, painful breasts? You’re not alone. In 2019, over 46,000 patients underwent a breast reduction for aesthetic purposes while over 60,000 underwent a breast reduction for reconstructive purposes. Thousands of women suffer from breasts that are too large and end up making everyday life difficult. If you’re ready to make a change and reduce the size of your breasts, a breast reduction may be right for you.

4 things you need to know before your breast reduction

  1. It can reduce back and neck pain– Many women suffer from back or neck pain due to their large breasts. This procedure can help reduce or remove the pain you’ve been dealing with and help you lead a more active and comfortable lifestyle.
  2. Your insurance may cover the cost of the procedure– Some patients are able to have their breast reduction costs covered, or partially covered, if the procedure is completed for health reasons.
  3. Recovery is typically 1-2 weeks– With a relatively short recovery time, you can be back to normal in no time.
  4. There is a difference between a reduction and a lift– Many patients ask about the difference between a reduction and a lift. If you’re in need of perkier breasts, a lift may do the trick whereas if your breasts are too large a reduction is likely the best option. In some cases, we’ve combined the two to achieve the patient’s desired results.

We can explain what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and will be there to support you throughout the entire process.
