Now-a-days everyone knows the importance of proper skin care. We are blasted with the importance of staying out of the sun, wearing sunscreen, etc. This wasnít always the case, however. Just a decade or so ago the sun was a goddess to be worshiped under, slathered with oils and butter to baste under as your skin turned darker shade after darker shade. This can cause premature signs of aging, not to mention the skin cancer risks and sun spots. If you are in need of some skin rejuvenation, we offer IPL Photofacials which can help not only with the signs of aging and sun damage, but also other skin imperfections such as rosacea and acne.

IPL Photofacial is a non-invasive and non-abrasive rejuvenation treatment for your skin using the cutting-edge technology of Intense Pulsed Light. There is no recovery time and results are achieved in four to six 20 minute sessions. IPL Photofacials are not only beneficial for the skin on your face, but may also be used on to improve the skin on your hands as well.

Smoothing out wrinkles, fine lines and restoring youth to your face has never been so quick, easy, cost effective and efficient as it is today. In years past the only option available to those wishing for facial rejuvenation was a face life surgery.

BOTOX injections have helped countess men and women achieve a natural looking facial rejuvenation by effectively treating the premature signs of aging. This non-surgical procedure takes only a matter of minutes to administer and the results will last you approximately three to four months. Oftentimes BOTOX injections may be done at the same time as other dermal fillers such as Juvederm to achieve the best results possible.

A consultation is the first step to achieving a more rejuvenated, rested, youthful appearance. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today to find out your facial rejuvenation options!

Did you know that skin is the largest organ? We are surrounded by our skin, it keeps us safe and battles the elements day in and day out, everyday of our life. Taking proper care of your skin is one of the best ways to keep yourself looking young and healthy. We offer a plethora of skin care treatments to keep your skin in top form. One of these procedures is Microdermabrasion.

Chevy Chase Microdermabrasion is a popular skin re-freshening treatment which uses tiny crystals to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells to reveal the smooth, yet unharmed, healthy skin which lies just beneath. Since Microdermabrasion is removing that dead outer layer of skin, any skin imperfection on that layer will also be removed. Skin imperfections such as uneven skin pigmentation, fine line, wrinkles and sun damage may be effectively treated with Microdermabrasion.

Consulting with a skin care specialist is the best way to determine if Microdermabrasion is the right treatment option for you. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

Women dissatisfied with the downward gravitational pull of their breasts after weight loss, pregnancy and nursing may choose to undergo a Breast Lift procedure. In a Breast Lift the excess skin is removed via an incision around the areola and the remaining skin is then closed. In most cases the areola will be moved higher to accommodate the breasts new position. If the woman is already satisfied with the cup size of her breast, a Breast Lift procedure may be enough to give her the results she desires. However, in some women who feel their breasts have deflated or have always been unhappy with the size of their breasts, a Breast Augmentation along with a Breast Lift may be opted for to give the desired results.

If you still have questions or would like to speak personally to a board certified plastic surgeon about your individual options, contact our office today.

Many people, men and women alike are dissatisfied with their noses. This dissatisfaction can come from many different aesthetic and functional reasons. Some people have noses they feel are too small or too large. For some it is the tip of the nose or perhaps the profile of the nose which may reveal bumps or indentations. Still, for others, their dissatisfaction is purely functional. Problems like having a deviated septum can make it very difficult to breath. In many cases, it is a combination of both aesthetic and functional goals which bring a patient in to our office.

Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown have helped countless men and women achieve the nose they desire through Chevy Chase Rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as Nose Surgery or a Nose Job, is a surgical procedure to improve nose imperfection both inside and outside the nose. If you are unhappy with your nose, contacting our office to schedule your confidential consultation is the best way to determine if Rhinoplasty surgery is right for you.

Dealing with the loss of one or both breasts due to cancer or other illness is a loss no one can prepare you for. Suddenly, something you’d taken for granted would always be there, isn’t and just as with the loss of a limb or loved one, you grieve. The healing process is a slow one. Everyone deals with the loss differently and finds their own way to move forward in life. For some, that means Reconstructive Breast Surgery.

Our Plastic Surgeons consider it the one of the most rewarding procedures to perform because of the opportunity to give women something of themselves back and watch their transformation as they heal and the self-confidence that grows from it. Every patient that comes in for a consultation presents unique goals, desires and challenges which are then discussed in detail with the patient to design the most ideal coarse of treatment for them.

There are three kinds of reconstructive procedures: Implant-based reconstruction, TRAM flap reconstruction and Latissimus flap reconstruction. If you are interested in discussing your reconstructive options, we invite you to schedule a consultation today.

There are a few reasons people may be considering an Arm Lift Surgery, also known as Brachioplasty. The effects of dramatic weight loss often leave people with excess, sagging skin on their body, including the underarm area. Sometimes, due to genetic reasons or aging the underarm can have excessive hanging skin and/or fat deposits which can be resistant to diet and exercise. Improvements to arms in these states can be made through Chevy Chase Brachioplasty.

Brachioplasty is a procedure which removes the excess sagging skin from the arm. The incision will be made in as inconspicuous position as possible to reduce the visibility of a scar after surgery. Often Liposuction may be done in conjunction with the Arm Lift surgery for optimum results. Other Body Contouring procedures may also be performed depending on the need of the patient such as a Breast Lift, Tummy Tuck, or Face and Neck Lift for the best overall results. Contact our office today to find out what your Body Contouring options are.

 

We are all pre-destined to have different trouble zones- parts of the body that are more difficult to impossible to lose weight and tone, despite our best diet and exercise efforts. Theses trouble zones vary person to person, but some common areas are the stomach, arms, hips, thighs, buttocks, and back. Board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown have helped countless Chevy Chase area patients, men and women alike, improve these trouble zones or pockets of stubborn fat from their body to create a more contoured, balanced body shape.

The liposuction procedure works by utilizing a long skinny tube which literally sucks the fat out. This tube is inserted into the trouble zones through tiny incisions. Often liposuction is used in conjuncture with other body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to create the most optimum results. It should be noted that while liposuction does remove fat- it is not a weight loss treatment and is best suited for those in otherwise healthy conditions to remove isolated pockets of fat.

Everyone has different trouble areas or parts of their body which are difficult to tone. For many people this area is the thigh and buttocks. After dramatic weigh loss, excess sagging skin can occur in the thighs, buttocks and elsewhere which can only be removed surgically. Genetics can also play a huge role in where we have difficulty losing weight. For whatever the reason, Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown may be able to achieve the results you seek through Chevy Chase Thighplasty.

A Thighplasty, or Thigh Lift procedure, is a procedure which removes the excess hanging skin from the thigh. Often this procedure may be performed in conjunction with a Buttock Lift and/or Liposuction, which is used to removed any excess fat deposits. It is important to note that a Thighplasty procedure is not a weight loss solution, nor is liposuction. These are body contouring procedures best designed to help patients who are already in the healthy weight range.
