What Happens During Your Breast Augmentation in Washington, DC?Breast augmentation DC

Consultation: Having a consultation before undergoing breast augmentation surgery is crucial to getting the results that you want. Our board-certified DC plastic surgeons are specialists in ensuring that patients achieve their desired appearance goals in a safe manner. A consultation can also help you, and your doctors chose which procedure is ultimately the right choice for you and your body.

Preparing for the Procedure: In preparation for the DC breast augmentation procedure, your doctor will conduct a comprehensive health assessment, prepare and explain to you the procedure and post-procedure care, and answer any questions you may have before going into surgery.

After the Procedure: Following the procedure, patients are discharged. Discharge occurs on the same day as the breast augmentation procedure was conducted because the recovery period of this surgery requires rest to recuperate. Based on your specific surgery needs, your DC area plastic surgeon will discuss specific post-procedure steps to follow.

How Long Does a Breast Augmentation Take and What is the Recovery Period Like?

Typically, a breast augmentation procedure usually takes between 1-2 hours, and there is no overnight hospital stay required. Additionally, the recovery period for surgery can take between 1-2 weeks. However, everyone’s needs and surgical care can vary.

How to Choose Breast Implants For Your Breast Augmentation Surgery

One question we frequently get is, “What size implants do I need?”.

The first thing that is crucial for our Washington, DC breast augmentation candidates to consider when choosing a breast implant size is that bra cup sizes vary wildly, and these measurements aren’t an exact science.

In fact, breast implants are measured by exact volume in cubic centimeters (cc’s), so while a cup size might provide an estimate of the breast size you are trying to achieve, it will not help you choose an exact breast implant size. Depending on the size of the bra band, 125-150cc will increase the volume of the breast by one cup size.

Saline vs Silicone Breast Implants DC Breast implant

There is a slight difference in available sizes for silicone and saline breast implants, but in general, implant volumes range from about 120cc to 800cc. In addition to lifestyle and aesthetics, it is also important to keep in mind your skin elasticity. This way, if you are prone to stretch marks, your augmentation results won’t put more stress than necessary on the skin.

In addition to different volume sizes, breast implants also come in five different profile projections:

  1. Low
  2. Low plus
  3. Moderate
  4. Full
  5. Extra full

The implant profile affects the projection of your breast implants because, although they are not directly related to the implant size, they can affect how large or natural your breasts appear.

Best Breast Augmentation Surgeons in Washington, DC

I did a lot of research, and had multiple consults before ultimately choosing to move forward with my breast augmentation with Dr. Bruno. Of the multiple plastic surgeons I vetted, Bruno/Brown was by far the most articulate, thorough, professional and kind clinics. With any plastic surgery/operation, there is always a level of anxiety, because it is a big life decision, but they were able to put me at ease throughout the entire process. Their follow through has been equally impressive – Dr. Bruno called me the evening of my surgery to check on me, and his office called me the following morning to check on me as well. I cannot say enough good things about them, and would recommend them 10X over. – Ashley S., Google Review

Achieve the Breasts You’ve Always Wanted with Breast Augmentation in DC

Breast Augmentation in DCIf you’re unhappy with the shape, size, or appearance of your breasts, a breast augmentation in DC may be able to help. There are several reasons to consider breast implants, but before deciding on surgery, you should understand what the procedure involves and if it’s the solution for you.

What are the benefits of getting breast implants?

There are plenty of reasons to get breast implants, both physical and mental. Breast implants can:

  • Increase the symmetry of your breasts– Whether your breasts became asymmetrical over time, or they’ve always been that way, you may want to look into breast implants. Your doctor may use two different sized implants to even out their size and make them more symmetrical and proportional.
  • Improve the projection of your breasts– Breasts can point up, down, or to the side naturally, or due to other factors such as weight loss or aging. A breast augmentation can improve the projection of your breasts, so they’re projecting properly and look more youthful.
  • Increase and reshape your cleavage– Your cleavage will often improve with breast implants, so you can achieve the fuller bust you’ve always wanted.
  • Increase breast size and shape– Whether you’ve always had smaller breasts, or you lost volume after weight loss or childbirth, breast implants can restore, or add, the size and shape you want.
  • Boost your confidence– Breast implants can improve your appearance and give you a boost of confidence along the way.

Is a breast augmentation the right option for me?

It’s important to decide if breast implants are right for you and can help you achieve your goals. The best candidates are 18 years of age or older, in good health, and wish to improve the appearance of their breasts. Your doctor will discuss your lifestyle, your desired appearance, and breast implant options to decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

‘Side Boob’: How to Achieve This Popular Trend with Breast Augmentation in DC

Breast Augmentation in DCOne of the most sought-after trends right now, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is the ‘side boob’. To achieve this look, the expert surgeons at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery recommend enhancing your breasts with breast augmentation in DC.

About the phenomenon that is ‘side boob’

Side boob is exactly what it sounds like and is revealed when the side of your breasts show in your clothing. You’ve probably seen celebs posting in dresses, swimsuits, and other pieces of clothing donning the side boob. Dubbed “the new cleavage”, many women want them to show subtly from their clothing, but it might not always be naturally achievable.

Achieve the best ‘side boob’ with DC breast augmentation

The most direct way to achieve this look is not strength training or weight loss; it’s breast enhancement surgery.

Breast enhancement, or breast augmentation, is a popular procedure that can completely reshape and resize the appearance of your breasts.

The doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery will work with you to determine how to best achieve your desired look.

You have various different ways we can achieve the results you desire for your breast augmentation:

  • Saline implants: A silicone shell is filled to your preferred volume, increasing the shape and size of your breasts
  • Silicone implants: A silicone shell is filled to the desired volume and offers a more natural look
  • Fat grafting: Uses liposuction to transfer fat from other parts of the body to the breasts, giving a fuller look
  • Ideal Implants: Ideal Implants were approved by the FDA in 2014 after 10 years in development. They provide a natural feel and youthful look without using silicone gel by using a series of implant shells nested together and two separate chambers that hold the saline.

Each implant type has unique benefits and results, so the best way to determine which will work best for you is to consult the doctors on your overall appearance goals.
