Consider a top-rated, board-certified DC plastic surgeon, such as Drs. Bruno or Brown, for your breast augmentation DC procedure, today.
What Does a Breast Augmentation DC Procedure Involve?
There are many options for your breast augmentation DC procedure, such as fat grafting, saline implants, silicone implants, or Ideal implants. Top-rated, board-certified DC plastic surgeons, Drs. Bruno or Brown, will work closely with you during your consultation to determine which implant fits your unique situation and meets your specific goals.
Each of these different types of breast augmentation DC produces similar benefits and has an average procedure time of 1-2 hours, with a recovery time as little as 2 weeks and no overnight hospital time. For more information on breast augmentation DC, refer to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a leading organization in the field of plastic surgery.
Why Have a Breast Augmentation DC Procedure?
There are many benefits to receiving a breast augmentation DC procedure. Just some of these benefits include an increase in both the fullness and the symmetry of your breasts, an increase in breast projection, and an increase in self-confidence. Expert board-certified DC plastic surgeons, Drs. Bruno and Brown can also reshape your cleavage and improve the balance of your breast and hip contours to meet specific body image goals that you may have.
One reason many women chose to undergo a breast augmentation DC procedure is that their breasts have lost some of their previous shape or volume, after aging, pregnancy, or extreme weight loss. Events like these can cause dramatic and rapid changes to your body. One solution to consider, for restoring your breasts to their previous shape, volume, or size, is a breast augmentation DC procedure.
When it comes to microneedling with PRP it’s important to choose someone you can trust, like top-rated Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery.
What is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling with PRP, also known as the “vampire facial” is a non-invasive procedure in which PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is taken from your blood and injected via micro-channels to problem areas across your face to rejuvenate your skin by reducing signs of aging, minimizing scars, boosting collagen production and treating stretch marks and age spots.
Overall, microneedling with PRP gives your skin a natural and healthy glow.
Why is it Important to Find Experienced, Trustworthy experts for Microneedling with PRP?
Your face is one of your most important features, and it deserves the best care possible. There are many reports of inexperienced and ill-equipped providers performing microneedling with PRP incorrectly and damaging the patient’s skin, sometimes irrevocably.
One account is documented in this real-self article, where the patient describes the damage done to her skin. This was likely caused by an inexperienced microneedling provider pressing the microneedles too deep into the patient’s skin, creating wounds. The patient goes on to describe the year-long battle to repair her skin, using skin care products in a fatal attempt to reverse the damage.
It is very unfortunate when microneedling with PRP is performed without the proper knowledge and skill it requires.
The procedure itself is extremely safe when performed correctly by an experienced medical aesthetician.
At Bruno|Brown plastic surgery, we have amazing before and after images, as well as excellent testimonials from our patients. One patient who underwent microneedling with PRP said, “my skin looks healthier, more plump and even, and certainly has a more youthful glow.”
The patient described the procedure as relatively painless, quick, and with virtually no recovery time. She relates the best part of undergoing microneedling with PRP– that the procedure was customized to achieve her individual goal: keeping her skin looking as natural and healthy as possible.

By now, we’re willing to bet that you’ve at least heard of the Vampire Facial (aka Micro-needling with PRP), or PRP injections around the eyes and mouth, both of which are skin treatments that use the PRP from your own blood to help correct some signs of aging and give you a glowing complexion. This is possible because PRP contains white blood cells and platelets, which have high hair regrowth factors.
What you may not know is that there’s a similar treatment for hair loss that utilizes PRP injections. If you have thinning hair, the high growth factors found within PRP can help stimulate hair follicle activity and promote new hair growth.
According to a recent article in Allure, PRP for hair loss is a great treatment option because there have been numerous scientific articles published that credit its success in increasing hair count, hair thickness and lengthening the growth phase of the hair cycle.
The PRP treatment process:
We will draw a small amount of blood and, using a centrifuge, separate out the PRP from the red blood cells. We will then make multiple injections, too small to be visible, covering the affected area to allow the PRP to absorb into and treat the area. As we’re using your own blood, PRP for hair loss is an extremely safe procedure.
PRP treatment results:
We recommend 5 to 6 PRP treatments to achieve the best results in addressing your hair loss. This treatment works well as a prevention measure for continued hair loss and works better on those whose hair loss is recent as it can be more challenging to stimulate hair follicles that have been dormant for a long time.
Love them or hate them, one thing we can agree on is that the Kardashians have really good skin. Kim and Kourtney swear by the virtues of the Vampire Facial (aka Microneedling with PRP) for flawless skin.
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that reduces the signs of aging, minimizes scarring, boosts collagen production, reduces hyperpigmentation and pore size, prevents premature aging, treats stretch marks, minimizes the appearance of age spots, helps improve texture and improves the appearance of rosacea.
Combining micro-needling with the body’s own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma derived from your own blood) is used to kick-start the healing process. The rejuvenation action that is started by the micro-channels is dramatically enhanced by the growth factors contained in the PRP.

Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery provides top-rated plastic surgery in the DC Metro area with award-winning plastic surgeons, Drs. Bruno and Brown.
With the increasing demand for plastic surgery, there has also been an increase in doctors, dentists and cosmetic surgeons entering the field of plastic surgery despite lacking the experience of top-rated plastic surgeons. We hope this article will help you choose.
Many believe that due to the rapid rise in demand, regulations haven’t caught up to industry practices. After all, there are extremely strict standards for surgeons
performing procedures such as joint replacement, yet there is virtually no oversight when it comes to cosmetic surgical procedures.
Questions are being raised about whether these procedures are properly supervised, as plastic surgeons are being called on to fix others’ shoddy work. There are countless examples of practitioners performing outside of their areas of expertise resulting in botched plastic surgeries and medical emergencies. You can read more about this subject here.
One Illinois woman, a mother of six, died after a complication arose during her surgery that her doctor was not prepared to handle. Prior to this incident, two of this doctor’s previous patients had been hospitalized with life threatening circumstances following their surgeries.
Some doctors, nurses or cosmetic surgeons will perform procedures at unlicensed facilities or spas- like the European Tanning Club in Michigan- where there have even been reports of lip injections resulting in extreme medical emergencies.
Not only are the practitioners who perform these procedures ill-equipped to handle emergencies, but patients who experience a botched or poorly performed surgery will face additional costs and additional surgical procedures. This points to the importance of finding a board certified top-rated DC plastic surgeon for your upcoming procedure.
