Types of Breast Surgeries, DC
There are various types of breast augmentation or other breast surgeries you can consider. We offer a variety of services/surgical procedures that can help you narrow down your desired path.
We provide procedures such as:
Breast Augmentations with Fat Grafting
If you want to increase the size and or shape of your breasts without an implant, you may want to consider breast augmentation with fat grafting. You can feel more confident in your breasts and remove any unwanted or undesired fat from other areas of your body.
Breast Lift
If you have ever heard of a mastopexy, it means you have also heard of its more common name, Breast Lift. A breast lift will lift and enhance your breasts for a more youthful and perkier appearance. If you are feeling that over time your breasts have changed, you can consider a breast lift to combat that feeling.
Breast Reduction
Oversized breasts can create many problems in your everyday life. Things like simple tasks can even become difficult if you are left with pain or extraneous weight. Finding clothing that fits, completing household chores, and even exercising can become a difficult task.
This is why individuals may consider breast reductions or a reduction mammoplasty. This can help release pain and or discomfort you may have to your breast size, reducing the weight.
Many women that have overly large breasts can have neck and back pain, accompanied by self-confidence issues. We aim to work with you to understand how breast reduction surgery can improve your life and confidence.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Male breast reductions, known as Gynecomastias, allow for reduced breast size and chest contour enhancement. Around 40-60% of men are affected by larger male breasts. Gynecomastias may help you look trimmer and more youthful.
Our physicians understand that your body image, self-confidence, and quality of life are deeply rooted in your appearance. In your consultation, your doctor will work with you to determine the best way to achieve your desired appearance.
Breast Reconstruction
After enduring breast cancer and losing one and or both of one’s breasts, survivors deserve a normal pre-diagnosis life. Breast reconstruction aims to help women reclaim their femininity by restoring or replacing one’s breasts.
During the experience of breast cancer, some women may undergo a mastectomy, double-mastectomy, or lumpectomy. This can result in losing one and or both breasts.

You may expect a recovery time between 1-2 weeks, after a surgery time between 1-2 hours depending on circumstance. There are usually no overnight stays required as well. Our doctors are specialists in helping DC area patients achieve their desired appearance with breast augmentation. Discuss what breast augmentation can do to help you attain the body you’ve always wanted, during your consultation.
Additionally, many women choose to combine this with other procedures, so they can recover from their procedures all at once. Often this can be combined with a tummy tuck, liposuction, or part of a ‘mommy makeover’ to help women restore their pre-pregnancy bodies.
We work with you to create the best plan of action that makes you feel comfortable, listened to, and confident in your desired results.
While prepping for your breast augmentation procedure, your surgeon will take the time to conduct a comprehensive health assessment. They will also prepare you for what you can expect during, after, and in recovery for your breast augmentation procedure. We aim to provide you with information and answer any questions you may have regarding the procedure process or surgery in general.
For your procedure, either silicone, Ideal implants, fat, or saline can be used to reshape and contour your breasts. The incisions can be made either around your areola, below your breast, or in the underarm to achieve the desired shape, size, and lift you want.
As mentioned before, the procedure usually takes between 1-2 hours. After your surgery, patients are discharged from our clinic the very same day and move into the recovery period of your breast augmentation surgery. During this process, you should be resting and recuperating from your augmentation.
After the surgery is completed, you will get a supportive surgical bra. This can help with swelling. The recovery time for this procedure is usually between 1-2 weeks. This can vary depending on the individual and how you are healing. Most patients can return to their regular activity schedule after around a week, and they are able to exercise after they have fully healed.
Each person is going to heal differently. Most incisions are placed to ensure minimalization and placed to be well hidden. As the patient recovers, the swelling you may experience, along with scares, will reduce and continue to fade with time.

We interviewed a Bruno | Brown patient who recently underwent a breast augmentation procedure with us. They expressed the following sentiments about their journey, experience with the practice, and results.
Why choose Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery?
“I chose them because my OBGYN recommended them. Then, after I did extensive research, (and I’m one that only goes to the best doctors), I saw that the doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery had been well vetted and featured as one of the Top Doctors in DC in Washingtonian Magazine. Just reading up on Dr. Brown and his background I felt really good about him on paper. Then the test was going to be his bedside manner, and I absolutely adored him. He was great to talk to, he was very calm, informative, and I felt very comfortable.”
Why decide to have breast augmentation?
“Since I was already under for the tummy tuck I thought why don’t we just go ahead and do the breast augmentation. I said I was happy with the size of my breasts, I just wanted them to look fuller. He gave me his honest opinion about what to do, what they’d look like, he listened and made sure we were on the same page so I knew what I was getting.”
What were your main goals in getting breast augmentation?
“I was very satisfied, still to this day with the results. The recovery time was a little long, but they told me I’d be fine by a certain number of weeks and I said I didn’t know, I was in a lot of pain. But sure enough at that time, right on the dot, I felt better. He knows what he’s doing. Everything was done top-level, even down to the payments. To the people I have told about my procedure I’ve said if you ever need anything done, you need to go to Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery.”

We interviewed a patient who underwent a breast augmentation procedure at our practice. She shares her experience with Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery and the breast augmentation procedure.
Our Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery Patient chose our practice because:
“… I saw that the doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery had been well vetted and featured as one of the Top Doctors in DC in Washingtonian Magazine. Just reading up on Dr. Brown and his background I felt really good about him on paper. Then the test was going to be his bedside manner, and I absolutely adored him. He was great to talk to, he was very calm, informative, and I felt very comfortable.”
“I was very nervous. I didn’t get nervous until the day of surgery. And I almost left! I was so nervous. I thought to myself, ‘This is ridiculous, I can’t believe I am going to go under for cosmetic surgery.’ But I knew that I really wanted it. I had thought about it for 3 years, at least. As soon as Dr. Brown walked into the room, he saw my face, and he said ‘Hey, how are you doing this morning?’ and his voice just calmed me. And I said ‘Dr. Brown, I am so nervous’ and he said there was nothing to be nervous about. I said, ‘You’re right, because I trust you’. I remembered when the anesthesiologist gave me the medicine to go out, I remember him holding my hand as I was counting backward. And rubbing my hand and he was saying ‘you’ll be fine’ and that’s all I remember and then I woke up and everything was fine.”
