5 Facts About Breast Implants in DC You Need To Know

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Implant DCWhile breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, there are many things you may not know about the procedure. If you’re considering breast implants, here are a few things you should know.

DC breast implant facts:

  1. Not all implants are made equal– We offer 3 different types of implants, saline, silicone, and ideal. Each implant can give you a different look and feel so it’s important to consider your specific goals when choosing an implant.
  2. Breast implants can improve your breast shape– Many people assume that breast implants are simply to increase the size of your breasts, but what you may not know is that breast implants can be used to improve their overall shape and symmetry. Some patients come to us, not necessarily looking for a large increase in size, they simply want to give their breasts a rounder shape and improve the symmetry of their breasts.
  3. You should not be pregnant or nursing when you undergo the procedure– It is unsafe to perform a breast augmentation on a pregnant woman. Furthermore, even after pregnancy, a woman who is breastfeeding should not undergo the procedure. Following breastfeeding your breast size can change rapidly, making it hard to truly gauge the size implant needed.
  4. You can combine other procedures with breast implants to achieve your goals– Many of our patients come to us with more than one goal in mind. Whether you’re looking to add a breast lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction, or butt lift we can work with you to find the right combination of procedures to achieve your goals.
  5. You can still get mammograms with breast implants– A common question we’ve heard is “Can I get mammograms with breast implants?” The answer is yes. Breast implants can withstand the activity of a mammogram and we highly recommend receiving a yearly mammogram beyond the age of 40.

Breast Implant Q & A With Bruno | Brown

Posted on by dcadmin

DC Breast ImplantsConsidering breast implants? While breast implants are one of the most popular plastic surgeries each year, there are several burning questions that aren’t exactly common knowledge. If you’re interested in the procedure but aren’t quite an expert on the topic, we’ve got you covered.

Breast implants in DC: You have questions, we have answers

Q: What’s the difference between an implant and fat grafting?

A: We get this question a lot and many women don’t know if they should get an implant or fat grafting. Basically, an implant is just that, an implant, while fat grafting involves taking fat from one part of your body and placing it in your breasts to enlarge them. Deciding which is right for you depends on your goals, the amount of fat on your body, and a variety of other factors that we’ll discuss in a consultation.

Q: How do I know what implant is right for me? 

A: We offer saline, silicone, and ideal implants. When deciding on an implant we consider the look you’re going for, as each implant can give you a different look, as well as the benefits of each implant. Using that information we can decide on the perfect implant for you that fits your goals and lifestyle.

Q: Can I get a mammogram with breast implants?

A: Perhaps one of the most important questions we’ve received, in short, yes. Breast health is of the utmost importance to us and we recommend yearly mammograms as well as self-examination. Once you’ve had a breast augmentation you can still receive a mammogram without harming the implant.

Q: How do I know if it’s right for me?

A: When you come in for a consultation, we’ll go through what your appearance goals are and how to best achieve them. Each patient is different and may require their own unique surgical plan. Typically, breast implants are meant to increase the size of your breasts, improve the fullness of your chest, and improve the overall symmetry of your chest.

Why so many women choose Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery for their DC breast implants

Our highly trained doctors perform technically advanced procedures that provide incredible results. We take the time to listen to your concerns and go through any questions you have before making a decision on a procedure.

How Breast Implants Can Benefit You

Posted on by dcadmin

Breast Augmentation in DCIf you’re unhappy with the size, shape, or even placement of your breasts, breast implants may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Whether you’ve always been unhappy with the appearance of your breasts or they’ve changed due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, we can help you get your confidence back.

Benefits of breast implants in DC

Before deciding on breast augmentation, you should know whether or not you’re a good candidate as well as the potential benefits of the procedure. Typically, candidates are in good health, not currently pregnant or nursing, interested in improving the appearance of their breasts, and at least 18 years of age. The benefits can include:

  • Increased symmetry of the breasts
  • Improved projection of the breasts
  • Increased cleavage
  • Increased breast volume and shape
  • Increased self-confidence

Deciding on the type of breast augmentation for you

At Bruno | Brown, we have three different types of implants to achieve your desired look:

  • Saline implants
  • Silicone implants
  • Ideal implants

Each implant has its own set of benefits that vary from case to case. Another option that does not involve an implant is fat grafting in which fat is removed from one part of your body and placed into your breast. We can help you decide if an implant or fat grafting is a good fit for you.

How to decide if DC breast implants are right for your specific case

Every case is different, and everyone’s goals are different. It’s best to consult with a doctor and discuss your goals and desired outcomes to ensure the procedure is the best option for you.

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

Posted on by dcadmin

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.

Washington DC: Read Blogger Alicia Tenise’s Breast Augmentation Experience

Posted on by dcadmin

DC Breast Augmentation ExperienceAlicia Tenise, top D.C. based fashion, lifestyle and travel blogger, opted to undergo breast augmentation with the Doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery.

Her latest post breaks down the most frequently asked questions about her experience.

If you’ve been following along over on Instagram Stories, you know that back in May, I opted to get a breast augmentation with the folks at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery. And so far, I am 100% happy with this decision! My body changed pretty drastically after gaining 20 pounds over the last year, and this is something I’ve been contemplating for a while now.

A full disclaimer before I dive into this post: if you’re considering plastic surgery, you should do it for you and only you. There’s no need to try to conform to society’s unrealistic standards of beauty! However, if you believe that undergoing a cosmetic procedure will improve your self-esteem and self-confidence, then by all means: go for it.

TODAY, I’M GOING TO BREAK DOWN SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MY BREAST AUGMENTATION EXPERIENCE WITH BRUNO | BROWN PLASTIC SURGERY. AND ALSO, SHARE A BEFORE AND AFTER, SO MAKE SURE TO KEEP READING!

WHY’D YOU DO YOUR BREAST AUGMENTATION?

After I gained weight this past year, my body has been a little out of whack. I’m not going to lie: the weight gain initially took a toll on my self-esteem. But over time, I started to embrace my new shape. I went up a couple of sizes, and I had to rebuild my wardrobe. This spring, I had a breakthrough, and finally just took all of my size two pieces to my local consignment shop, and started to love my new curves.

However, one unexpected result of my weight gain? My breasts were two different sizes. As much as I preached body positivity, this is one thing that drove me crazy, day after day. And to be completely candid, I am carrying most of my weight in my stomach and thighs, and I didn’t love the way I looked in clothes. I wanted to even out the size of my breasts, and I also opted to go a bit larger.

Breast Augmentation: ‘The best thing I ever did.’

Posted on by dcadmin

Kaley Cuoco, The Big Bang Theory’s Penny Hofstadter, is refreshingly direct in an interview with Women’s Health about her breast implants.

According to the article:

Kaley, 31, credits her hot yoga and cycling routine, but in the same breath is just as honest about what else she’s done to her body. And by coy Hollywood standards, her revelations are almost shocking. “Years ago, I had my nose done,” she says casually. “And my boobs—best thing I ever did. Recently I had a filler in a line in my neck I’ve had since I was 12. As much as you want to love your inner self. . . I’m sorry, you also want to look good. I don’t think you should do it for a man or anyone else, but if it makes you feel confident, that’s amazing.”

Washington, DC: Breast Implants

Posted on by dcadmin

DC Breast implantsDid you know that breast augmentation was the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States in 2018? 313,735 breast augmentation procedures were performed!

Are you considering breast implants in Washington, DC?

Breast implants can help you feel more comfortable in your skin and increase your self-confidence.

It may be that you simply want to increase your breast size, or that you’ve lost breast volume from aging, pregnancy or significant weight loss. Whatever your reason for considering breast implants, the skilled doctors and Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery can help.

Help choosing your implant type, implant profile, implant size and more.

There is a lot to consider when making your choice about breast implants.

We have three different breast implant options available:

  • Saline implants: A silicone shell is filled to your desired volume, increasing size and shape of cleavage
  • 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

We also offer breast augmentation with fat grafting for those patients that do not want to use implants.

Implant size:

First, you should discuss the overall size or volume you’re looking to achieve. Your experienced plastic surgeon can help you choose the best implant size for the appearance you desire but will also talk you through additional considerations, such as skin elasticity to accommodate the implants you choose, your lifestyle and more.

Implant projection:

In addition to volume, breast implants come in five different profiles: Low, low plus, moderate, full and extra full projections. The profile changes the projection of your breast implants, so while not directly related to the implant size, they can affect how large or natural the implants appear.

Input from your DC Plastic Surgeon:

Our experienced plastic surgeons will help guide you throughout the process of choosing your ideal breast implants. However, keep in mind that decisions about your implants, including their size, must ultimately rest with you. Be sure to choose a surgeon who makes you feel comfortable asking questions and gathering all of the information you need to make an informed choice.

Our physicians have spent many years helping patients choose their breast implants and can offer you invaluable input, ensuring you feel confident in your decision and your expectations for breast augmentation are met.

Choosing the best size and implant type for your breast augmentation procedure in Washington, DC.

Posted on by dcadmin

At Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery our doctors are often asked how to choose a breast implant size, and what type of implant should be used to achieve a patient’s ideal look for their breast augmentation procedure.

DC BREAST AUGMENTATIONBreast Augmentation and Implant Sizes:

The first thing that is important to understand is that bra cup sizes vary wildly from retailer to retailer and are not an exact measurement of breast size. Breast implants are measured by exact volume in cubic centimeters (cc’s), so while a cup size might give you a ballpark range of the overall breast size you are trying to achieve, they will not help you choose an exact breast implant size.

Try to put the idea of a specific cup size out of your mind while you consider your options. Also, remember that your natural breast tissues will contribute to the overall size of your breasts after implants have been placed, provided your implants are not part of a breast reconstruction procedure.

In general, breast implant volumes range from about 120cc to 800cc. In choosing a breast implant size, it also helps to remember that your skin must stretch to accommodate the implants you choose. If you have poor skin elasticity or are prone to stretch marks, your cosmetic results may be best if you choose implants that will not put undue stress on your skin.

Choosing the Best Size for Your Breast Implants for your Washington, DC Breast Augmentation Procedure

Visualizing breast implant sizing is helpful to some patients as they begin to imagine how they would look with larger breasts. Our sizing kit allows us to determine the overall desired volume and an approximation of how you will look after surgery. We do our sizing with a personal fitted t-shirt to see a general idea of the effect breast implants would have.

A measuring tape can also help. Having your surgeon take measurements of your chest wall dimensions will help you get a better understanding of your existing body proportions and how they would change with different breast implants.

One of the best resources available to patients choosing a breast implant size is the gallery of breast augmentation before and after photos. Looking at before and after photos of other patients who share a similar build, existing breast size and desired breast size can provide some of the most useful direction to women considering implants.

Don’t forget about breast implant profiles!

In addition to different volumes, breast implants also come in five different profiles: low, low plus, moderate, full and extra full projections.

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

Breast Implant Types:

Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery offers four types of breast implants:

  • 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
  • Fat grafting: Uses liposuction to transfer fat from other parts of the body to the breasts, giving a fuller look

Input from Top DC Plastic Surgeons

From size to type to your individual lifestyle, if you’re considering getting breast implants there’s a lot to consider.

The doctors at Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery will help guide you throughout the process of choosing your ideal breast implants.

Be sure to choose a surgeon who makes you feel comfortable asking questions and gathering all of the information you need to make an informed choice.
