Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will help you understand all of your breast augmentation options to create your preferred look.

BREAST AUGMENTATION

If you are unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts, breast augmentation might be the right choice for you.

What are my Options for Breast Augmentation in Washington, DC?

Enhancing your breasts through breast augmentation can lead to an improved body image which can allow you to feel more comfortable with your appearance and increase your self-confidence.

Your experienced plastic surgeon will walk you through all your breast enlargement options to figure out which one will best achieve your desired look. Options include:

  • Fat grafting: Uses liposuction to transfer fat from other parts of the body to the breasts, giving a fuller look
  • Saline implants: A silicone shell is filled to your preferred volume, increasing the shape and size of your breasts
  • Silicone implants: More viscous than saline, a silicone shell is filled to the desired volume and offers a more natural look
  • Ideal implants: Uses a series of implant shells nested together and two separate chambers that hold saline, providing a natural feel and youthful look

What’s the Difference Between Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting and Implants?

 

If you are looking to enhance your breasts, but don’t want to use implants, fat grafting may be the best option for you. This procedure uses liposuction, doubling the benefits by removing unwanted fat and using it for breast enhancement.

An additional benefit of breast enlargement with fat grafting is the scarring is very minimal. Small, needle-sized incisions are made to the side or below the breasts to achieve the desired shape, size, and lift.

There are Many Unexpected Benefits to Getting Breast Implants Breast Implants

 If you are thinking about getting breast implants here are some unexpected benefits that might help you with your decision.

The Benefits of Receiving Breast Implants Include:

  1. Breast volume: If your breasts have lost some of their shape and definition over time through life events such as pregnancy or weight loss then implants can help your breasts regain some of their shape and volume.
  2. Breast symmetry: If your breasts are uneven, a breast enhancement procedure can help increase their symmetry.
  3. Self-confidence: If your breasts are not as perky as they used to be or lost some of their shape, you may feel self-conscious about your body. Breast implants can help you take back some of that confidence and allow you to feel more comfortable with your body.
  4. Breast size: Breast implants will increase your breast size overall. Expert plastic surgeons Drs. Bruno and Brown will work with you to reach your individual goals when receiving implants.

 The Breast Implant Procedure

A good candidate for receiving breast implants must be over the age of 18, not pregnant or nursing, in good health, and have an interest in modest to significant breast enhancement.

If you meet these qualifications the next step is finding an experienced plastic surgeon like Drs. Bruno and Brown to perform your breast enhancement. The board-certified plastic surgeons at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery will work with you so you can meet your individual goals for the procedure and answer any questions you may have during a free consultation.

Patient Newsletter Addressing the Link Between Breast Implants and A Rare Form of Cancer

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast augmentation and reconstruction are two of the most popular plastic procedures among women. With growing concerns about a link between breast implants a rare form of cancer, Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery released this patient newsletter:

As a patient in the practice of Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery, we feel it necessary to inform you of recent issues with breast implants. Many of you have now seen or read recent media reports referencing the possible link between breast implants and a rare form of cancer called BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant Associated-Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma). While this is occurring in an extremely small subset of patients with breast implants, there appears to be some link.

BIA-ALCL is not a breast cancer, but a rare T-cell lymphoma that usually develops as a fluid and swelling around the textured shell breast implant. According to the ASPS and the FDA, thus far, there have been no confirmed cases of BIA-ALCL in women who have had only smooth-shell breast implants. The lifetime risk for this disease appears to be about 1 case for every 30,000 textured implants placed. This equates to a 0.003 percent risk. Both the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) and others are gathering more and more data on this rare disease.

The FDA is not recommending removal of textured implants nor have they advised against their placement. Rather, the FDA recommends, as do we, that every woman conducts regular self-examinations. If you develop swelling or a lump in your breast, contact our office right away. We will comprehensively evaluate you and order the appropriate tests to determine if any treatment is indicated.

While more information is being gathered, we at Bruno|Brown Plastic surgery have elected to stop the use of textured implants from all breast manufacturers until further research on this type of implant is more complete. If you are concerned that you may have this textured type of implant or have any concerns about your implants, please call the office at 301-215-5955.

Breast Augmentation: What You Need to Know 

Posted on by dcadmin

If you’re feeling self-conscious about the size or shape of your breasts, you may want to consider breast augmentation. Breast augmentation can increase the fullness, symmetry and projection of your breasts to create the look you desire.

We offer several different types of breast augmentation, including the following:

Breast Augmentation: This procedure allows women to choose from saline implants, silicone implants and cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants.
•      Increases breast symmetry and projection
•      Increases and reshapes cleavage
•      Returns breast volume and shape lost after aging, pregnancy, or weight loss

Breast augmentation with fat grafting: Patients who would prefer not to use silicone or saline implants might want to consider breast augmentation with fat grating. This procedure increases breast symmetry, projection, and fullness while also doing the following:
• Targets unwanted fatty deposits
• Returns breast volume and shape typically lost after aging, pregnancy, or weight loss

Breast lift: Don’t let the fear of aging take away your self-confidence. This procedure reduces the appearance of aging on dropping breasts by restoring a youthful, perky chest.
• Improves position of the breast and breast symmetry
• Can restore cleavage
• Tightens the breast skin and shape

Every woman is different which is why Dr. Bruno and Dr. Brown will work closely with you to achieve results you’ll love. At Bruno|Brown, our patient’s experience is just as important as the surgical result.
