Posted on by dcadmin

Thousands of women each year choose to undergo a mommy makeover to restore their pre-baby bodies. Many of our patients come to us wondering “what exactly does the procedure include?” The procedure is not a one-size-fits-all and is meant to target your specific needs which can involve a variety of different plastic surgery procedures.

Typical procedures performed during a mommy makeover

What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?When you come to Bruno|Brown for a consultation for a mommy makeover we’ll talk about the areas of your body you would like to target to come up with procedures that could benefit you. Common procedures include:

  • Breast Augmentation– A breast augmentation is very popular among women who have gone through pregnancy and nursing and therefore lost breast volume they once had. If you’re looking to either restore volume or gain volume you never had, breast implants can be a great option.
  • Tummy Tuck– A tummy tuck is a very common option for a mommy makeover as pregnancy, childbirth, and weight loss can leave your stomach with excess skin and fat as well as stretch marks. A tummy tuck can target your specific issues with your stomach area and is meant to fit your needs.
  • Breast Lift– Another common breast surgery performed during a mommy makeover is a breast lift. Your breasts can sag over time due to aging or following the birth of a child. A lift can give you the perky, youthful chest you once had and can even be combined with other breast procedures to achieve your desired results.
  • Liposuction– Liposuction can target areas of stubborn fat across your body that no amount of diet and exercise seems to be able to address. It can also be a great option for those who do not wish to undergo a full tummy tuck.

Breast Implants in DCBreast implants can be used to increase the size of your breasts, restore fullness lost due to aging or weight loss, and offer more symmetry among many other benefits.

There are several types of breast implants including:

  • Saline Breast Implants: The shell is filled with saline to your preferred volume, increasing the shape and size of your breasts with a firmer feel.
  • Silicone Breast Implants: A silicone shell is filled to your desired volume and offers a more natural feel.
  • Ideal Breast Implants: Ideal Implants are saline implants that 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.

During your consultation, we’ll go through each type of implant to help you decide which is best for you. We’ll talk about your goals for your breast augmentation surgery, the size and shape you’re trying to achieve, and any other goals you’re hoping to achieve.

How we can support you during your breast implant recovery

Following your procedure, we will provide you with a supportive surgical bra to help control swelling. The average recovery time for most patients is between 1-2 weeks. It can vary depending on how the individual heals, but most can return to regular activity after a week and exercise after you’re fully healed.

How Does a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Work?

Posted on by dcadmin

Hundreds of thousands of women decide to undergo a breast augmentation procedure each year. The procedure is designed to help women increase their breast size, improve symmetry, and add cleavage. There are several ways to reach your breast goals through augmentation, but for those who do not wish to have breast implants, fat grafting is a great way to achieve fuller breasts without the need for an implant.

What sets the fat grafting breast augmentation apart

Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation DCThe fat grafting procedure is great for women who have unwanted fat in other areas of their bodies. During the procedure, we can take fat from one area of your body, such as the stomach, and transfer it into your breasts. While the traditional breast augmentation procedure will reshape and resize the appearance of your breasts using an implant, this procedure can achieve similar results using a careful injection of fat.

This procedure is also great for those who are worried about scarring. For the fat grafting breast augmentation, small needle-sized incisions are made in discreet locations of the breasts in order to achieve the desired shape, size, and lift.

What we’ll discuss during your consultation for a fat transfer breast augmentation

When you choose Bruno|Brown for your breast augmentation consultation, we’ll discuss each option with you. We’ll start out by learning about your specific goals for your procedure, then we can help you find the best option to achieve your goals.

  4. There are other options to enlarge your breasts without implants– Some patients aren’t sure that they want to commit to getting implants, in that case, a fat-grafting breast augmentation might be right for you. In this procedure, we can remove fat from other areas of your body and place it in your breast to enlarge it using your own fat.

We always want our patients to be happy with their results for years to come and to ensure long-term success, it’s best to maintain a relatively steady weight.
  • You’re not currently pregnant– This goes for almost any procedure, but we recommend that you wait until you’re no longer pregnant and your body has had time to adjust after giving birth. Pregnancy and its after-effects can drastically change your breast’s appearance. We can discuss this during your consultation as our recommendation can vary from patient to patient.

We’ll talk you through the procedure and ensure it’s right for your specific goals prior to moving forward. The procedure can drastically change your appearance and we want to ensure it’s in line with your desired look.
  • You have a week or two to recover– As with any surgery, there is a recovery period that should be taken seriously. Some patients need longer to properly recover than others but we always recommend you take your time easing back into your daily routine. This is something we’ll discuss prior to surgery so you can properly prepare for your recovery period.

What we discuss during your consultation for a breast augmentation

The 3 Considerations You Should Make Before Undergoing a Breast Lift

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Lift in DCWhen it comes to the breasts, there are seemingly endless procedures that can be done to improve their appearance. Whether it’s an augmentation, a lift, or reduction there are several ways that women choose to enhance their breasts when exercise, diet, and clever bra hacks have failed to give them the appearance they desire. If you’re interested in a breast lift and/or augmentation or reduction there are a few considerations you should make.

The 3 considerations you need to make for your breast lift in DC

  1. Your desired look– It’s important to know what you want your end result to be. You may simply want your breasts to have a bit of a boost but also consider if you want to enlarge them or make them smaller in the process. This will help us decide what procedure or procedures will give you your desired result.
  2. Your lifestyle and future plans– A breast lift is a great way to give you a perkier chest that can end up making you look more youthful but consider your plans for the future before undergoing a procedure. For example, if you’re planning on having children in the future, pregnancy can drastically alter the appearance of your breasts. We typically recommend that patients do not plan to become pregnant following their procedure due to the changes in their bodies. This is something you can discuss with your doctor during your consultation.
  3. The benefits– Consider if the benefits line up with your overall goals. Prior to undergoing any cosmetic procedure, we want our patients to fully understand what the procedure involves before they commit to anything. We want to ensure it’s the right procedure for you before we get started so you’ll be completely satisfied with your results.
