Posted on by dcadmin

DC Breast Augmentation ExperienceAlicia Tenise, top D.C. based fashion, lifestyle and travel blogger, opted to undergo breast augmentation with the Doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery.

Her latest post breaks down the most frequently asked questions about her experience.

If you’ve been following along over on Instagram Stories, you know that back in May, I opted to get a breast augmentation with the folks at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery. And so far, I am 100% happy with this decision! My body changed pretty drastically after gaining 20 pounds over the last year, and this is something I’ve been contemplating for a while now.

A full disclaimer before I dive into this post: if you’re considering plastic surgery, you should do it for you and only you. There’s no need to try to conform to society’s unrealistic standards of beauty! However, if you believe that undergoing a cosmetic procedure will improve your self-esteem and self-confidence, then by all means: go for it.

TODAY, I’M GOING TO BREAK DOWN SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MY BREAST AUGMENTATION EXPERIENCE WITH BRUNO | BROWN PLASTIC SURGERY. AND ALSO, SHARE A BEFORE AND AFTER, SO MAKE SURE TO KEEP READING!

WHY’D YOU DO YOUR BREAST AUGMENTATION?

After I gained weight this past year, my body has been a little out of whack. I’m not going to lie: the weight gain initially took a toll on my self-esteem. But over time, I started to embrace my new shape. I went up a couple of sizes, and I had to rebuild my wardrobe. This spring, I had a breakthrough, and finally just took all of my size two pieces to my local consignment shop, and started to love my new curves.

However, one unexpected result of my weight gain? My breasts were two different sizes. As much as I preached body positivity, this is one thing that drove me crazy, day after day. And to be completely candid, I am carrying most of my weight in my stomach and thighs, and I didn’t love the way I looked in clothes. I wanted to even out the size of my breasts, and I also opted to go a bit larger.

Posted on by dcadmin

If you are unhappy with the overall shape of your nose, you might be considering rhinoplasty, or a ‘nose job’. This procedure can enhance facial harmony and balance, correct the proportions of your nose and can also fix many of the breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.

How Can DC Rhinoplasty Change Your Nose?

Starting with a consultation, the doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will discuss your overall concerns and goals. It is important that we take a holistic approach, which considers your facial features overall in order to achieve balance that will bring greater harmony to your overall facial features and increase your self-confidence.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “Rhinoplasty has come a long way over the past several decades. Much has been written on various techniques and approaches to the nose. Currently, state-of-the-art treatment follows more of a “less is more” approach to the nose. The idea is to manipulate the nose in a way that preserves the ideal anatomy without being overly aggressive. The nose has a unique healing pattern that needs to be respected to ensure the best outcome over time.”

DC Tummy Tuck: The Most Common Myths Surrounding the Procedure

Posted on by dcadmin

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, one of the most popular procedures, the Tummy Tuck, is also considered one of the most misunderstood procedures.

There were over 130,000 tummy tuck procedures performed In the United States, making it the fifth most popular cosmetic surgical procedure last year. Even with its popularity, there are still some common misconceptions about the tummy tuck procedure. Here are a few myths:

Myth: Tummy Tucks are Just for Women, Not Men

The tummy tuck procedure is designed to reshape the waistline for numerous reasons, including for those who have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin or fat in the stomach area. Both men and women can experience this for various reasons. Over the past few years, statistics show an increasing amount of men undergoing a tummy tuck procedure. In 2018, over 5,000 men had a tummy tuck.tummy tuck DC

Myth: You Do Not Need The Tummy Tuck Procedure if You Eat Right and Exercise

Despite a healthy diet and consistent exercise routine, a flat stomach area can still be difficult to achieve, especially if it’s been altered by weight or pregnancy. Our DC tummy tuck procedure can reshape the appearance of your abdomen by removing excess fat and tissue around the waistline and stomach.

Myth: A Tummy Tuck is A Major Weight Loss Procedure

The tummy tuck procedure is more of a body contouring procedure that tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin and fat. An ideal candidate is a man or woman who is near their ideal target weight but may have been pregnant, experienced significant weight loss or has excess skin or fat in the stomach region.

Your doctor at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will work with you to determine which of our DC-area tummy tuck procedures best meets your needs. Some options include:

  • Full tummy tuck: involves an incision across the hip line and around the belly button
  • Mini tummy tuck: involves a smaller incision and is often complemented by liposuction
  • Extended tummy tuck: best suited to individuals who have lost significant amounts of weight, involves incisions around the flank, lower back, and hip line

Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery are tummy tuck specialists, helping DC area patients smooth and reduce their waistlines.

Should You Consider a Tummy Tuck in DC?

The tummy tuck procedure can completely reshape the appearance of your abdomen by removing excess fat and tissue around the waistline and stomach. Unlike most plastic surgeons, our doctors take a holistic approach to the tummy tuck procedure in order to achieve the most natural, beautiful look.
