Increase in Breast Reduction Surgery in 2019

According to Newbeauty, breast reduction surgery increased in 2018 and continues to grow in 2019. In today’s society, people want to live a more active lifestyle which can be difficult for some women due to large breast size. According to the recent Newbeauty article, many women want their breasts to be proportionate to the rest of their body:

“Large, heavy breasts can cause major back and neck pain, and some women even have to wear two sports bras to keep their breasts supported while they workout. ‘Women also find it difficult to shop for dresses if they are a smaller size at the bottom and much heavier at the top,’ says Parakh. Thankfully, celebrities are speaking out about their breast reductions, promoting a big conversation to arise regarding breast reductions.”

It’s Time for a New You: Get Your Mommy Makeover in Washington, DC

Posted on January 14, 2019May 8, 2025 by dcadmin

With the new year beginning, it’s a time for new goals and resolutions. However, some women who have tried year after year to regain their pre-pregnancy figure see it as another failed effort. A mommy makeover can help you regain your confidence and get your body back in ways that dieting and exercise cannot.

Are you ready to get your DC Mommy Makeover?

Depending on your goals, a mommy makeover can be customized to fit your specific needs. Your experienced plastic surgeon will work with you to choose the right procedures for you and your lifestyle. Mommy makeovers can include:

Tummy Tuck: This procedure can completely reshape the appearance of your abdomen by removing excess fat and loose skin around the waistline
Liposuction: Through careful, targeted suction, excess fat and tissue are permanently removed
Breast Augmentation: Reshapes and resizes the breasts for a more youthful appearance, increasing breast symmetry and improving projection
Breast Lift: Breasts are lifted to enhance the position and symmetry and reduces the appearance of aging or sagging breasts
Labiaplasty: Sculpts and reshapes the labia minora and/or labia majora.

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is more cost-effective than having multiple traditional surgeries as it combines several procedures at once. Reclaiming your pre-pregnancy shape can give you a more positive self-image and allow you to feel comfortable in your skin again. Benefits of this procedure can include:

Removal of excess, loose, or hanging skin, which may be the result of weight loss or pregnancy
Reduction in stretch marks
Enhancing the breasts

If you’re sick of fine lines and wrinkles, consider Botox in the Washington, DC area

Posted on January 9, 2019 by dcadmin

Botox in DC: your solution for fine lines

One of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, Botox can smooth crow’s feet and the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and reduce the lines in the folds between the nose and lips.

What are the benefits of Botox?

Restored elasticity of vertical lines between the eyebrows
Reduction of lines in the folds between the nose and lips
Smoothing of crow’s feet (lines around the corners of the eyes)
Reduced appearance of forehead wrinkles

One Washington, DC resident’s experience with Botox

Botox, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is used to help slow down the signs of aging as well as smooth existing skin wrinkles. We spoke with one Bruno|Brown patient about her experience with Botox:

What was your experience like at Bruno|Brown compared to other places?
The med spa put a lot of injections in a few places, when Bruno|Brown used a little in a lot of places. Dr. Bruno kept asking me to move my face to really target the lines. By doing it this way the look is much more natural; you don’t get this weird one eyebrow higher than the other.

I’ve also never gotten a headache from them when at the med spa I would always get a headache.

I got a droopy eyelid at the med spa once, I had to actually change how I do my eyebrow makeup to make them even because the placement changed so much. Bruno|Brown also said I could go back if there was a problem, and I probably would do that if there was an issue. There’s a lot of security in that.

The results were just so natural, everything just smoothed out.

Botox procedure and recovery in DC

Botox treatment usually only takes between 10-15 minutes, and there is no recovery time. You’ll see results that can last between 4-6 months in certain areas. You may have some minor swelling or pain at the injection site, but this subsides almost immediately after the initial injection.

Botox should be administered by a trained and experienced medical professional, such as the doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery. Someone with limited experience giving Botox could possibly make the injections too deep, too low, or in the wrong spot. This could cause negative side effects, like droopy eyelids or a “frozen look”.

FaceTite in Washington, DC: One Of 2019’s Biggest Trends In Plastic Surgery

Posted on January 4, 2019 by dcadmin

FaceTite in Washington, DC is expected to be a big trend in 2019.

FaceTite is a new revolutionary contouring procedure that tightens and lifts the skin around your face and neck. The procedure is minimally-invasive and gives patients the results of a facelift without the surgery, scarring, or stitches. FaceTite can also be combined with liposuction in the jowls and neck areas to achieve more contouring and a more youthful appearance.

FaceTite on the rise with Washington, DC residents

Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures have grown nearly 200 percent since 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Allure Magazine recently named FaceTite one of 2019’s biggest plastic surgery trends:

“Radio frequency technology, like FaceTite, to address neck and jawline sagging and heft is a procedure New York City-based, board-certified plastic surgeon Adam Kolker, anticipates to skyrocket in 2019, especially among men. ‘It’s a real revolution in what we’ve been doing to date,’ he says. Depending on the severity of the patient, it can be done ‘in conjunction with other procedures, like liposuction or microneedling.’”

The doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will work with you to determine which areas to target in order to achieve your desired look. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so you will experience little to no discomfort.

The FaceTite procedure in DC

FaceTite has little recovery time compared to a traditional facelift and can be used in numerous areas including the neck, jowls, cheeks, and jawline.

The FaceTite procedure is performed with a small tube (cannula) that is inserted under the skin and passes radiofrequency energy to the external electrode placed on the skin’s surface. The tube heats the tissue causing it to contract and tighten. The procedure also stimulates collagen growth so patients will see immediate results, as well as continued improvement in the skin’s firmness over the next 6 months.

Schedule your DC FaceTite procedure today for a new you in the new year

When it comes to the delicate facial area, choose an expert plastic surgeon like the doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery, who are knowledgeable and experienced in their field. The doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will be with you every step of the way- from your initial consultation through the recovery process.

Are you unhappy with your post-pregnancy body? A mommy makeover in Washington, DC can help you regain your self-confidence.

Posted on January 2, 2019 by dcadmin

Despite efforts of healthy eating and targeted exercise, are you unable to get back to the body you had before pregnancy? A mommy makeover in Washington, DC may be the answer.

Benefits of a DC Mommy Makeover

There are countless benefits to receiving a mommy makeover, but many women say the most significant was their increased self-confidence. Reclaiming your pre-baby shape can give you a more positive self-image and allow you to feel more comfortable in your skin.

A mommy makeover is more cost-effective because it combines numerous surgeries into one. A Bruno|Brown patient shared her mommy makeover experience with us:

“It seems like a big surgery because it’s doing a lot, but honestly, combining a breast surgery with a tummy tuck doesn’t add any recovery time. Might as well do them at the same time! There are also cost savings in doing multiple procedures together.

Results were amazing. They exceeded my expectations. There was no way I could diet and exercise and get the body back that I wanted. You can’t do anything about excess skin, folded skin, and I had twins! So I had a lot of extra skin.”

BodyTite DC: A Solution for Unwanted Body Fat

Posted on December 21, 2018 by dcadmin

If you’re looking for a way to reduce fat without causing saggy, unwanted skin- BodyTite in Washington, DC may be your answer.

BodyTite is the newest, minimally invasive procedure that shapes, lifts, and tightens your skin without the recovery time of traditional liposuction.

How Does BodyTite Work?

BodyTite is an FDA approved procedure that helps contour your body by targeting problem areas that have not been responsive to diet and exercise. It simultaneously tightens loose skin that may be a result from weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

BodyTite is powered by radio-frequency aided lipolysis (RFAL) for three-dimensional remodeling and contouring. RFAL melts and removes excess fat through a tiny incision made in an inconspicuous location. Learn more about BodyTite from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

BodyTite can be used on the following areas:

Abdomen
Hips
Buttocks
Thighs
Arms
Back

The BodyTite Procedure

Our expert plastic surgeons will work with you to determine if BodyTite is the right choice for you in order to meet your specific goals, or if the procedure can be used in conjunction with liposuction to meet your needs. The procedure only takes about one to three hours and is an in-office procedure.

Patients typically have minor soreness that only lasts one to two days before being able to return to their normal activities. Results are noticeable in just a few days and continue to improve for several months as the skin continues to tighten post procedure and any swelling subsides.

An ideal candidate for this procedure has specific goals in mind for targeting areas on the body which have not been responsive to other weight loss efforts such as diet and exercise.
