Reclaim Your Body With A Mommy Makeover

Posted on by dcadmin

Mommy MakeoverAs a mom, you work hard enough to keep yourself and your entire family happy and healthy. When you do find time for yourself it can be difficult to eat properly and go to the gym, and even then you may not be seeing the results you want. If you’re ready to take control of your body and do something for yourself, a mommy makeover may be able to help you achieve your goals with as little downtime as two weeks.

Why so many women choose the mommy makeover procedure

Pregnancy can cause major changes to your body. You may be left with loose skin, less full or saggy breasts, and stretch marks. While these are all entirely normal effects of pregnancy, many women feel uncomfortable in their own skin and long for the body they had before the baby. The mommy makeover procedure is designed to help you target specific areas of your body you’re uncomfortable with in ways that can’t be achieved through diet and exercise alone. Benefits can include:

  • A trimmer midsection
  • Removal of loose skin
  • Improved breast size or shape
  • Reduction in fat in the stomach, thighs, arms, and/or back
  • Improved confidence

What type of mommy makeover is right for you?

Not all mommy makeovers are the same and the procedure is meant to be tailored to each individual. While some patients only want to target a singular area, such as the stomach, others wish to cover several areas, such as the breasts, stomach, and back. During your consultation with the doctors at Bruno|Brown, we’ll discuss the areas you want to see change and how you want them to change. We commonly perform a combination of the following as part of mommy makeover procedures:

What’s Breast Augmentation Really Like? Find Out Here.

Posted on by dcadmin

Read about Maria’s real-life Breast Augmentation experience

Watch her full surgical procedure and read about her healing below!

 

Never, not even in my worst moments, did I ever, ever regret it for a second.

-Maria

In addition to filming her procedure, we also interviewed Maria about her breast augmentation.

Why did you want to undergo breast augmentation?
I was unhappy with the size of my breasts and felt really unconfident. I always felt like having bigger breasts would help out, I wanted to have larger breasts to feel more confident in my appearance.

What size implants did you get?
470 CC partially placed under muscle. When I came in for a consultation the doctors had me try on different size implants and asked what size bra I wanted to wear to get an idea of what size implant would help me achieve the breasts I wanted. I really wanted to have a D cup bra size, that was the goal! And I got there, I’m really happy with the size.

What was the day of surgery like?
I didn’t like the anesthesia, but I knew ahead of time that would be one of the hardest parts for me. Surgery didn’t take long, about 2 hours.

What was the recovery like?
At first it was a little tough to get used to the tightness of the bandages and the new chest but by day two I felt much better, just a little tired. Every day that passed everything felt so much more normal.

How long did it take for you to feel normal again?
After about a couple weeks I felt much more myself, but I did experience sensitivity in my right nipple which Dr. Bruno said would go away, and it did fade away. Even in the beginning I could do normal stuff, but I’m such an active person and it was really easy to get fatigued in the beginning and I would feel my breasts get tense. Every day was a little better. I feel that even though you have to go back to your normal life as much as you can and as soon as you can, you need to rest as much as possible and let yourself heal.

Knowing what you know now, would you undergo the procedure again?
Absolutely! Never, not even in my worst moments, did I ever, ever regret it for a second. It’s something I’ve always wanted and I’m SO HAPPY with the size and the way it looks. It’s exactly what I hoped for.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure Explained

Posted on by dcadmin

Tummy Tuck in DCMany individuals suffer from excess skin or fat in their midsection that doesn’t seem to go away even with proper diet and exercise. Pregnancy, weight loss, lifestyle, and genetics can play a large role in causing excess skin and fat which can take a toll on your mental health. If you’re tired of feeling less than your best because of your tummy, a tummy tuck procedure may be able to help you.

What the tummy tuck procedure involves

  • Mini tummy tuck– Some patients only require slight changes to achieve their goals. A mini tummy tuck is a great option for those wishing to make a small to moderate change and can often be completed by liposuction.
  • Full tummy tuck– A full tummy tuck involves the hip-to-hip scar commonly associated with the tummy tuck. This can drastically alter the appearance of your stomach by removing fat and excess skin to achieve your goals.
  • Extended tummy tuck– If you’re looking for a major change, the extended tummy tuck may be right for you. While we recommend that patients are near their ideal weight prior to the procedure, the extended tummy tuck can make a drastic difference in your appearance. This procedure is best for those who have lost a significant amount of weight and have been left with a lot of excess skin. This is often completed by a hip-to-hip incision and sometimes an incision on the lower back.

Your consultation for a tummy tuck

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your specific goals for the procedure as well as what will need to happen for us to achieve them. We recommend that patients are in relatively good health, have realistic expectations for their results, and have excess skin or fat in their stomach area. We’ll walk you through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and support you until you’re completely healed.

The Difference Between a Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation and a Breast Implant

Posted on by dcadmin

Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation DCBreast augmentation is consistently one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed. In 2019, it was the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure with just under 300,000 procedures performed in the U.S. While this procedure is extremely common, many people are unaware of the different options they have to achieve their breast goals. While breast implants tend to be the most common option, some patients opt for a fat grafting breast augmentation procedure. If you’re considering undergoing a breast augmentation but aren’t sure what procedure is right for you, keep reading.

Breast augmentation with fat grating vs breast implants

  • Fat grafting– This procedure involves using liposuction to remove fat from other areas of your body, such as the stomach, and placing it in the breast to give you a more enlarged breast. Fat grafting leaves minimal scarring and can address other areas of concern where you would like fat removed. This procedure can be combined with others, such as a tummy tuck so you can address multiple concerns at once.
  • Implants– It’s important to note that not all implants are the same. We work with Ideal implants, silicone implants, and saline implants. Each can give you a different look and feel which will help us decide which one lines up best with your goals. This procedure can also be combined with other procedures. We’ll discuss your options in your consultation.

How to decide if fat grafting or breast implants are right for you

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and how each option could benefit you. Each type of implant can produce a different look and so can fat grafting. Depending on the look you’re going for, how you feel about implants vs. fat grafting, and your current body, we’ll help you decide which option is best for you.
