5 Facts About Breast Implants in DC You Need To Know

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Implant DCWhile 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Do Something For Yourself With a Mommy Makeover in DC

Posted on by dcadmin

Mommy MakeoverBecoming 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.

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

Breast Implant Q & A With Bruno|Brown

Posted on by dcadmin

DC Breast ImplantsConsidering breast implants? While breast implants are one of the most popular plastic surgeries each year, there are several burning questions that aren’t exactly common knowledge. If you’re interested in the procedure but aren’t quite an expert on the topic, we’ve got you covered.

Breast implants in DC: You have questions, we have answers

Q: What’s the difference between an implant and fat grafting?

A: We get this question a lot and many women don’t know if they should get an implant or fat grafting. Basically, an implant is just that, an implant, while fat grafting involves taking fat from one part of your body and placing it in your breasts to enlarge them. Deciding which is right for you depends on your goals, the amount of fat on your body, and a variety of other factors that we’ll discuss in a consultation.

Q: How do I know what implant is right for me? 

A: We offer saline, silicone, and ideal implants. When deciding on an implant we consider the look you’re going for, as each implant can give you a different look, as well as the benefits of each implant. Using that information we can decide on the perfect implant for you that fits your goals and lifestyle.

Q: Can I get a mammogram with breast implants?

A: Perhaps one of the most important questions we’ve received, in short, yes. Breast health is of the utmost importance to us and we recommend yearly mammograms as well as self-examination. Once you’ve had a breast augmentation you can still receive a mammogram without harming the implant.

Q: How do I know if it’s right for me?

A: When you come in for a consultation, we’ll go through what your appearance goals are and how to best achieve them. Each patient is different and may require their own unique surgical plan. Typically, breast implants are meant to increase the size of your breasts, improve the fullness of your chest, and improve the overall symmetry of your chest.

Why so many women choose Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery for their DC breast implants

Our highly trained doctors perform technically advanced procedures that provide incredible results. We take the time to listen to your concerns and go through any questions you have before making a decision on a procedure. Patient safety is our top priority and we aim to support our patients throughout the entire process of recovery so they feel supported and informed.

The Benefits of a Breast Lift in Washington DC

Posted on by dcadmin

Washington DC Breast LiftBreast Lift Results In DC

Are you looking to give your breasts a boost and give them a more youthful and perky appearance? If so, a breast lift might be something you should consider. Overtime breasts can lose their volume and sag due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. While there are remedies such as push up bras that can improve the appearance of your breasts, they’re not permanent and many women are left feeling less than confident with their appearance.

How a breast lift consultation in Washington, DC can benefit you:

There are several benefits to a breast lift including:

  • Improved position of the breasts– A breast lift can adjust the position of your breasts giving them a boost and making them appear more youthful.
  • Increased symmetry– Many women experience asymmetry of the breasts following pregnancy or weight loss. A breast lift can improve the symmetry of your breasts giving you more confidence and making it easier for you to find bras that fit properly.
  • Restored cleavage– Just as you would assume, a breast lift does in fact lift your breasts, but in the process, it can give you more cleavage.
  • Tightening of the skin– As your breasts have begun to sag over time, your skin becomes looser. A breast lift can remove some excess skin and make your breast skin tighter.
  • The procedure can be made to fit your needs– Not all breast lifts are the same and can be tailored to fit your specific goals and needs.

What to Expect During Your Breast Lift

During your breast lift procedure, your surgeon will customize the approach based on your unique needs. Various incision techniques may be used depending on the unique procedure. The surgery involves removing excess skin, tightening the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple for a more youthful shape. You can expect a smoother, firmer breast contour with a natural-looking lift. Recovery involves some swelling and bruising, but most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, enjoying long-lasting results that restore confidence and enhance their appearance.

Deciding if a Washington, DC breast lift is right for you

If you’re interested in the breast lift procedure, you should consult with an experienced plastic surgeon who can make recommendations as to if the procedure is right for you as well as the type of breast lift that will help you achieve your goals. There are four different types of top-rated breast lifts we perform, which depend on the needs of the patient. We can also discuss adding volume by including an implant if that is one of your goals.

Our doctors are highly trained and perform technically advanced procedures. We’ll discuss what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and will always keep your best interests and health in mind.
