The Benefits of Liposuction DC

Posted on July 5, 2018July 5, 2022 by dcadmin

If diet and exercise alone have not been enough to achieve your goals, consider the benefits of liposuction DC.

Liposuction DC can completely change your appearance by removing fat and flattening your problem areas.

Who Should Consider Liposuction DC?

During liposuction DC, fat is removed through suction utilizing a thin metal tube, or cannula. This process can completely reshape problem areas and drastically decrease the size of areas, such as your abdomen or thighs. This procedure can be a solution for patients who have tirelessly tried diet and exercise without progressing toward their goals. It only takes one to four hours and has a recovery time of only three to five days. Patients also do not need to stay overnight at the hospital.

Good candidates for this procedure are typically within thirty percent of their ideal weight, have firm skin and good muscle tone, and are in good overall health. They should not smoke (or are prepared to quit for the duration of their surgery and recovery) and have one or more problem areas where they would like fat to be removed.

Some patients choose liposuction DC because, while they have otherwise normal body weight, they carry excess weight in a certain area such as the outer thigh region. This weight can be due to any number of causes such as genetics, aging, pregnancy, or prior surgery. Read more about the reasons for choosing this procedure with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Some areas that can be treated include:

Abdomen
Flanks, also known as love handles or muffin top
Neck and jawline
Buttocks
Thighs
Back
Calves and ankles
Arms
Hips

What are my Liposuction DC Options?

Once you have decided that this procedure is right for you, experienced plastic surgeons like Drs. Bruno or Brown will work with you to determine which type of liposuction is right for you:

Traditional tumescent liposuction
Body-Tite or SmartLipo
Power-assisted liposuction

Breast Implants DC

Posted on July 3, 2018 by dcadmin

If you’re interested in reshaping or increasing the size of your breasts, then breast implants DC may be the right choice.

Breast implants DC can boost your confidence and help you achieve your goals.

What Breast Implants DC Can Do for You

Breast implants DC is a procedure in which breast enhancement is achieved through the reshaping and resizing of the breasts using either fat grafting, saline implants, silicone implants, or ideal implants. Each type of implant has different benefits so it is important to discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon so they can aid you in making the right choice. Drs. Bruno and Brown are highly experienced surgeons who can help you determine what’s right for your individual goals and lifestyle.

This procedure can work to correct many issues, such as increasing breast symmetry, cleavage, breast shape and volume, and improving projection. Particularly after life events such as aging, pregnancy, or extreme weight loss, your breast shape and size can change dramatically. This procedure can help return your confidence and body shape to before these life events altered your appearance.

Receiving breast implants can help boost confidence and allow you to feel comfortable in your own skin. For more information on the benefits of breast implants, visit the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Candidates for Breast Implants DC Should Fit These Guidelines:

Overall good health
At least 18 years of age
Not currently pregnant or nursing
May have a breast asymmetry
May have undergone life events such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, which altered the appearance of the breasts

What Breast Implants DC Can’t Do

Breast implants can’t work to correct severely sagging breasts. However, a breast lift can work to alter drooping breasts, allowing them to look fuller and perkier. Most patients who determine that both breast implants DC and a breast lift are right for them can have these procedures performed at the same time. Your expert plastic surgeon like Drs. Bruno or Brown will assist you in making the decision that is right for your circumstances.

Drs. Brown and Bruno will work with you to determine which procedure best fits your needs.

Tummy tuck options include:

Full tummy tuck: An incision is made around the belly button and across the hip line.

Extended tummy tuck: Best for patients who have had significant weight loss, and involves incisions around the flank, lower back, and hip line.

How Should I Prepare for my DC Tummy Tuck?

Your doctor will walk you through all pre and post-operative care. Some pre-operative instructions include:

No smoking at least four weeks prior to surgery.
Do not take aspirin or aspirin-containing products.
Remove any abdominal area or belly button jewelry prior to surgery.
Fill all your prescriptions before surgery.

Why Are So Many Women Choosing Labiaplasty?

Posted on June 15, 2018 by dcadmin

Labiaplasty is a revolutionary procedure that has recently grown in popularity.

There are many reasons labiaplasty is on the rise: The most notable is the increase in comfort many women report experiencing after undergoing the procedure.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure in which the labia minora and/or the labia majora are sculpted and reshaped. Often the goal is to reduce the size of the labia and create more labial asymmetry.

This procedure typically takes less than an hour and the recovery time is minimal, but it’s recommended to hold off on any significant lower body exercises for several weeks. The labia are very sensitive structures, so it is important to choose an experienced plastic surgeon like Drs. Bruno and Brown. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons further explains the procedure.

Top Three Reasons More Women are Choosing Labiaplasty

Comfort: After surgery, many women often experience increased comfort during athletic activities such as cycling or horseback riding. Also, there is typically a decrease in irritation from tight clothing like yoga pants or bathing suits. Reducing the length of the labia prevents it from being twisted or tugged on by tight clothing or irritated by rigorous workouts.
Appearance: Over time the appearance of the labia can change dramatically particularly after undergoing significant life events such as childbirth. Labiaplasty allows women to reshape their labia to increase self-confidence, aesthetic appeal, and create a more youthful look.
Increased sexual pleasure: After surgery, there is often an increase in sexual pleasure as excessively large labia can cause pain during intercourse or even lead to sexual avoidance due to the anticipated pain of intercourse. Additionally, the clitoris can become more exposed leading to an increase in sexual pleasure.

Posted on June 13, 2018 by dcadmin

There are Many Unexpected Benefits to Getting Breast Implants

If you are thinking about getting breast implants here are some unexpected benefits that might help you with your decision.

The Benefits of Receiving Breast Implants Include:

Breast volume: If your breasts have lost some of their shape and definition over time through life events such as pregnancy or weight loss then implants can help your breasts regain some of their shape and volume.
Breast symmetry: If your breasts are uneven, a breast enhancement procedure can help increase their symmetry.
Self-confidence: If your breasts are not as perky as they used to be or lost some of their shape, you may feel self-conscious about your body. Breast implants can help you take back some of that confidence and allow you to feel more comfortable with your body.
Breast size: Breast implants will increase your breast size overall. Expert plastic surgeons Drs. Bruno and Brown will work with you to reach your individual goals when receiving implants.

The Breast Implant Procedure

A good candidate for receiving breast implants must be over the age of 18, not pregnant or nursing, in good health, and have an interest in modest to significant breast enhancement.

The board-certified plastic surgeons at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will work with you so you can meet your individual goals for the procedure and answer any questions you may have during a free consultation.

Is PRP treatment DC right for you?

Posted on May 23, 2018 by dcadmin

Are you looking to improve the tone and texture of your skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles? PRP treatment DC might be right for you!

PRP is a product your body naturally produces. It is a platelet-rich-plasma that helps with blood circulation and tissue healing. PRP treatment DC (also known as PRP injections) promotes collagen growth to help correct some signs of aging and brighten your complexation.

What can PRP treatment DC help with?

Hair Loss: If you suffer from hair loss or thinning hair, PRP injections can help stimulate the hair follicles to promote new hair growth. PRP treatment also works well as a preventative measure and can be more successful for people who are just beginning to lose hair as it becomes harder to stimulate hair follicles the longer they are dormant.

Under Eyes: Eye bags can be due to a number of reasons- lack of sleep, fluid retention, allergies, or genetics. PRP treatment DC helps replenish the blood and nutrients that eye strain can often take away. Injections will promote tissue growth which will increase elasticity and give you a smoother, more youthful appearance under your eyes. (You can read an Allure article documenting results here.)

Nasolabial Folds: Also known as parentheses, nasolabial folds are those pesky lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Although they are a natural feature of the face, they can become deeper and more defined with age. PRP injections to this area promote collagen growth and can diminish the appearance of these lines overtime.

What you can expect after a PRP treatment DC

Drs. Bruno and Brown are board-certified plastic surgeons and are expertly qualified to determine the number of treatments you’ll need to reach your goals (2-3 procedures are generally recommended).

Procedures are relatively painless and require no post-treatment care. Treatments are quick and any redness or swelling will fade in 1-2 days. We suggest you schedule accordingly as bruising may last up to a week depending on the area you have treated.

We look forward to seeing you for a PRP treatment DC consultation soon!

Eye Lift Surgery DC

Posted on May 13, 2018 by dcadmin

If you’ve noticed a change in the appearance of your eyes due to aging, eye lift surgery DC may be the solution.

What is Eye Lift Surgery DC?

Eye lift surgery DC, otherwise known as Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty, is a procedure in which excess tissue is removed from the eyelid area to treat the signs of aging. This procedure works not only to correct individual problem areas but can also smooth the skin around the eyelid to give a more youthful appearance and improve vision.

Eye lift surgery DC usually takes one to two hours and has a recovery time of as little as two weeks, with no overnight hospital stay required.

What are the Benefits of Eye Lift Surgery DC?

• Treats signs of aging by tightening skin around the eye
• Vision can be improved
• Lightens dark patches underneath the eyes
• Lifts hollow areas under the eyes
• Creates a more youthful appearance of the eyelid area

For your Eye Lift Surgery DC, Choose a Plastic Surgeon You Can Trust

The importance of choosing a board-certified expert plastic surgeon cannot be overstated. The experience your surgeon has translates directly to the quality of your plastic surgery results. Choose an expert plastic surgeon like Drs. Brown or Bruno, who have been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, an industry-leading organization.

Drs. Brown and Bruno approach eye lift surgery DC in a unique way, preferring a more holistic approach that works to improve the overall harmony of your facial features rather than focusing on one isolated area of the face.

Board-certified plastic surgeons Drs. Brown and Bruno value patient interaction and will be with you every step of the way- from your initial consultation through the recovery process, unlike many doctors who will siphon off work to staff members with less training.

May is for Moms: Get a Mommy Makeover!

Posted on April 26, 2018 by dcadmin

Looking for a way to treat yourself or your mom this Mother’s Day? Consider a mommy makeover, the gift that will never be forgotten.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures tailored to your specific goals. It is particularly popular among mothers, hence the name because it works well to correct issues related to childbirth and breastfeeding. A mommy makeover works to restore your body to its form before motherhood, often in ways that diet and exercise aren’t able to.

What Procedures Can be Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Typically, a mommy makeover includes a combination of:

Tummy Tuck– reshapes the appearance of your abdomen by removing excess fat and tissue around the waistline and stomach
Liposuction– through careful, targeted suction, excess fat is completely and permanently removed from your trouble spots
Breast Enhancement– reshapes and resizes the appearance of your breasts
Breast Lift– reduces the appearance of aging on sagging, droopy breasts to restore a youthful, perky chest

One of the main benefits is that you are undergoing multiple procedures in one sitting, making it more efficient and shortening your recovery time. The procedure itself only takes 3-5 hours with a recovery time of as little as 2 weeks. While many patients elect to have an overnight hospital stay for comfort, it is not required. The procedure is unique in that Drs. Bruno and Brown will work with you to tailor the procedure to your individual circumstances. Read more about the procedure and the importance of choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Drs. Bruno or Brown, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a leading organization in the field of plastic surgery.

We hope to see you soon for your mommy makeover procedure or consultation!

Labiaplasty DC

Posted on April 18, 2018 by dcadmin

Don’t let discomfort stand in the way of your workout, wardrobe, or sex life- consider Labiaplasty DC!

Why Consider Labiaplasty DC?

Labiaplasty DC is growing in popularity for women of all ages- it’s a revolutionary solution to the discomfort many women face each day. Although, according to this article on labiaplasty from Independent, spin classes are actually to blame for the sharp increase in labiaplasty procedures because cycling can cause extreme irritation for women with excessively large labium.

This discomfort is only amplified by the tight athletic clothing, such as yoga pants, that are typical for cycling and other athletic activities. Many women have found a solution with labiaplasty DC, a simple and non-invasive procedure that sculpts and reshapes the labia majora and labia minora to enhance comfort and aesthetic appeal.

With labiaplasty, it’s important to choose a trusted, board-certified plastic surgeon such as Drs. Bruno or Brown, for the best results.

Benefits of Labiaplasty DC Include:

Increased sexual pleasure: An excessively large labia can cause pain during intercourse or even lead to sexual avoidance due to the anticipated pain during intercourse; the clitoris may also become more exposed during labiaplasty DC which can lead to increased sexual pleasure
Increased aesthetic appeal of labia: Often with a labial augmentation to correct for symmetry, the labia minora and labia majora are reduced in size, enhancing the appearance of the labia
Lessened discomfort during athletic activity: Many women report feeling significantly less discomfort while they are working out, particularly during activities such as cycling or horseback riding
Lessened discomfort while wearing tight clothes: Many women report feeling less irritation while wearing tight clothes such as yoga pants
End to recurrent vaginal yeast infections: One cause of recurrent yeast infections could be consistent irritation of an elongated labia
Increased self-confidence: Many women report feeling higher self-esteem after undergoing a labiaplasty DC procedure

Smartlipo DC can be performed using only a local anesthetic

Choosing the Right Smartlipo DC Plastic Surgeon
