To Help You Prepare for Your Breast Augmentation, Here is a Recovery Timeline:

After you get a breast augmentation, you will be sore, have some bruising, and maybe have drains. Before getting a breast augmentation, the recovery timeline is essential so that you can take the necessary precautions.

  • Right after surgery: You might wake up groggy and a little disoriented. Not quite sore yet, but within the next few hours, you will feel more tender as the anesthetic wears off.
  • Your first two weeks:You are going to be sore. You should be able to do light activity but not high-intensity exercise or heavy lifting. You should be able to start driving a few days after surgery, as long as it is not too uncomfortable. Taking it easy for the first two weeks is essential to your recovery from surgery.
  • 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery: You will probably have a post-surgery consultation during this time. You should be able to start doing more medium-intensity activity (as long as your doctor approves it). Often for people, the 3rd and 4th week of recovery is when they can return to their regular workout routine.
  • 4 to 6 weeks post surgery: Your scars should be healing, and you should have a full range of motion back. As long as your doctor has approved you, you should be able to live your life normally!

Your Ultimate Guide to Breast Augmentation Recovery: FAQs Answered by Dr. Brown

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery that can help improve your confidence and enhance your figure. However, the recovery process can be overwhelming for many patients. In this article, Dr. Brown, a trusted Washington, DC plastic surgeon, answers some of the most common breast augmentation recovery FAQs.

Breast augmentation recovery FAQs, what you need to know:

1. How long is the recoveryprocess: breast augmentation recovery week by week:
Breast augmentation before and after

The recovery process varies for each patient, but most patients can return to light activity within 2 weeks after surgery. Consult with your doctor to ensure you are free and clear before resuming your normal routine.

2. How long after breast augmentation can I work out?

Heavy exercise or chest exercise should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks after surgery.

You should be able to do light lifting and light activity 2 to 3 weeks after your surgery. This means you should be able to return to your everyday workout routine about 3 to 4 weeks after your surgery. 

Make sure you discuss this with your doctor before starting back up with your workout routine.

3. Will I have breast implant scars?

Yes, breast implant scars are common because small incisions must be made to insert the implants. Most surgeons place the scars in inconspicuous areas to make them less visible.

4. When can I drive after my breast augmentation surgery?

Most patients are able to resume driving a few days after surgery, but it’s important to pay attention to any discomfort while sitting up and driving. As a rule of thumb, if it hurts, don’t do it or be extra careful.

5. When can I sleep on my side after breast augmentation?

According to Dr. Brown, you can sleep on your side a day or two after the surgery. However, if you are a person who sleeps flat on their stomach, you will have to wait at least 2 weeks (or more, depending on what your surgeon says).

Breast Augmentation and Lift for Former NFL Cheerleader at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery

At Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery, we’re passionate about helping women feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a former NFL cheerleader who wanted to enhance her figure with breast implants and a breast lift.

Meet Dominick Fink, former NFL cheerleader, career woman, mom, and all-around girl boss. Ready to follow her breast implant revision and breast lift experience?

After five and a half years of being unhappy with her current breast augmentation, former NFL cheerleader Dominick Fink decided it was time to change that.

Disclaimer: This video contains some graphic images of surgery.

Why did Dominick choose Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery for her breast implant exchange?

Dominick contacted a former teammate when looking for the perfect plastic surgeon to perform her breast augmentation. Her old Redskins teammate, Jordan, raved about her results from Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery, and Dominick knew this was the best option.

Dominick had one main goal: to make her breasts smaller and perkier through a breast implant revision and breast lift.

She already had saline breast implants from her first breast augmentation that she had done five and a half years ago. She felt as though they were too big for her and was looking for something a little more natural.

“I went through a process where I kinda gained a little bit of weight. Got comfortable with myself. And I just, I don’t know… I kinda want to take it down a little bit and just maybe be a little more proportional.”

Overall, she wanted to come across as more proportional and smaller-chested.

Dominick’s breast lift and breast implant exchange consultations: Dominick Fick having a consultation with Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown

Before her surgery, Dominick had two consultations: first, to meet the doctors, and second, a pre-surgery consultation to discuss the final details of the surgery. In these consultations, Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown covered:

What about post-surgery drains?

In this breast augmentation, Dominick did not need drains after her surgery. Drains are often used for more invasive surgeries and can help remove excess liquid instead of forcing the body to absorb that liquid. Drains are discussed in both the pre-surgery consultation and the post-surgery consultation when needed.

The surgery took about 3 hours and consisted of a breast implant exchange and a mastopexy or breast lift.

The main goal was to downsize the implants and lift the breasts to tighten them up. Dominick’s surgery consisted of:Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown preforming Breast Implant Exchange

  • Tightening up the breast pocket and skin around the breast to both shrink that space and make sure the implant is not loose.
  • Removing the extra tissue that is not wanted.
  • Placing the implants in the breast pockets and stitching them into place.

In the end, Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown ended up removing half the volume of her breasts.

Dominick’s breast augmentation recovery process:

A few weeks post-surgery, we took the time to interview Dominick on her how she felt and her breast augmentation recovery.

Q: How do you feel post-procedure?Dominick Fink interview after breast lift surgery

A: “I was expecting to be really groggy. I was expecting to be really tired. But I got right back into the car and I was aware of my surroundings, I was good, I felt good. A couple days after I was a little uncomfortable. Just a little mild discomfort but it wasn’t anything too serious. But now I mean I feel great, I’m able to move my arms. I’m super happy with everything and I love the results.”

Q: Did you have any swelling or bruising?

A: “There really wasn’t anything too significant. Of course, the normal scaring around the area, but really there was no bruising.”

Q: How long was it until you felt able to accomplish tasks?

A: “It was about a week, um, until I felt really comfortable moving my arms. Now like I said, I am free to move my arms, and I’m back in the dance studio dancing again. But, I would probably say it was about a week, week and a half until I was back up…  you know, lifting my son up and doing those normal household chores.”

Q: What was the most surprising aspect of the procedure?

A: “I think the most surprising… having had the surgery or a surgery before, I was very nervous about the swelling aspect of it. When I came out of my first surgery, I was super, super swollen, but now I feel comfortable. I think they look great. I feel like I could be back to, you know, my normal bra size or my regular bra size. I think the swelling aspect was what I was really nervous about, but it wasn’t anything too significant.” 

Q: What was your healing time and process like?

A: “Healing Time, I was really nervous. I thought I was going to be out and down for, you know, ‘x’ amount of months, but… like I said, I am back in the dance studio, I am moving, and I am ready to work out again. I feel great. I feel like I can get back in the gym and do everything that I did before.” 

Q: What were your follow-up consultations like?

A: “Follow-ups were absolutely fantastic. When I originally had my first surgery… I went for my consult, I got my surgery, and that was really it. But with Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown, everyone has been so fantastic. I’ve come in, I’ve had multiple appointments afterward to check on me, to see how I’m feeling, I’ve had emails, I’ve had calls… this whole experience with Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown has been absolutely incredible. And something I would honestly recommend to anyone and everyone who is looking to have a surgery done. It’s just been fantastic.”

Everything You Need to Know About Getting a Breast Augmentation in Washington, DC

Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery is one of the top-rated practices for breast augmentations in Washington, DC. We understand getting surgery can be stressful, and we are here to help.

What is breast augmentation in Washington, DC?

A breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a “breast aug” or “boob job” by patients, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. Breast augmentation surgery helps to reshape and resize the breasts to create the patient’s desired look.

Why get a breast augmentation in Washington, DC?

  • A before and after breast augmentation surgery Build confidence– Breast augmentation surgery allows you to reshape your appearance. Every woman has those swimsuit insecurities; breast augmentation helps to make sure you fill out that bikini the way you want to so you can feel confident and comfortable in your skin.
  • Enhanced breast size– Sometimes, your breast size doesn’t reflect the rest of your body. A Washington, DC, breast augmentation surgery can help improve the size of your breasts to the level you would like.
  • Uneven breastsBreast asymmetry is extremely common for women of all ages. In fact, over half of all women have breast asymmetry. Through breast augmentation, we can make it so that your breasts are symmetrical.

Breast augmentation options:

  • Saline implants: A silicone shell that is filled to increase the size and shape of your breasts.
  • Silicone implants: A thicker option and a more natural-looking silicone shell filled to the desired volume.
  • Ideal implants: Using multiple implant shells together and two separate chambers that hold saline, giving a more natural feel and youthful look.
  • Fat grafting: Using liposuction to transfer fat from other parts of the body to the breasts, giving a fuller look.

What to expect during your breast augmentation surgery:

  1. Consultation: Sit down with your doctors and discuss surgery. This is where you determine the size and shape and how the surgery will take place. The consultation is the most crucial step; even if you have the most qualified doctors, discussing your desired results and understanding the surgery process and what to expect are key.
  2. Pre-Surgery: Before the surgery, your surgeon will do a complete health assessment to ensure you and your body can handle the surgery. After this, they will walk you through the surgery and recovery.
  3. Post-Surgery: After the surgery is finished, you will be discharged. The surgeons will discuss recovery times (they differ depending on the person) and the best way to take care of your new breasts.

4 Top Tips to Choose the Best Breast Implant for You

Deciding on which breast implant you want to have can be an overwhelming and intimidating process. Luckily, there are many factors about your lifestyle, habits, body shape, and more that can make this decision a lot easier.

Tip 1: Determine what type of breast implant is best for you
Breast implants before and after

Choosing which type of breast implant to get may appear to be just as overwhelming as choosing a size, but the truth is, it’s a very simple process.

There are two types of implants; silicone and saline:

  • Saline implants, as the name implies, is an implant filled with salt water. This implant feels a little bit like a water balloon but is overall a great implant.
  • Silicone implants, on the other hand, feels very natural. This type of implant is filled with a gel that has a density and texture similar to breast tissue. Because of this, most patients opt for a silicone implant.

Tip 2: Understand the difference between cup size and implant size

Breast implants are measured by exact volume in cubic centimeters (cc’s), which is different than a cup size. So while a cup size might give you an estimated range of the overall breast size you are trying or able to achieve, it will not be able to fully help you choose a specific breast implant size.

In addition to this, bra cup sizes can vary wildly from retailer to retailer, which makes them even more unreliable. However, a cup size can still point your plastic surgeon in the right direction for the overall look you are going for with your breast augmentation procedure.

Tip 3: Know the profile you want from your breast implants

Whether or not you want your breast implant to look fuller or more natural is based on personal preference. The implant profile affects the projection of your breast implants and will determine how far off your chest your breasts will be. Although they are not directly related to the implant size, the implant profile can affect how large or natural your breasts appear.

Breast implants come in five different profiles:

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

The greater the profile of your breast implant, the greater the height of your breast side wall. Most patients looking for bigger cleavage aren’t as concerned that their implants look natural, and choose higher, fuller profile implants, as do patients with very narrow breasts.

Tip 4: Consider your lifestyle when choosing breast implants

It’s important to note that implants can suit any lifestyle; that being said, during your consultation, the doctors will walk through your unique routine and habits to help you determine the best implant size, shape, and placement.

If you love an active lifestyle, larger implants might not be the best fit. For example, an avid runner might find larger implants obtrusive.

As Dr. Brown says, “if you’re the type of person that doesn’t want your mother-in-law to know,” going with a lower projected implant could be a better option.

What You Need to Know About Getting a Breast Augmentation in Washington, DC

From your initial consultation until your healing process ends, Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery is here to help you with your Washington, DC breast augmentation surgery every step of the way.

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

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.

Why Have People Chosen To Get Breast Augmentations in DC?

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.”
