About Us
Patients who have undergone previous implant-based breast reconstruction often suffer from complications like an excessive pain, or weakness. This is often a result of having the implants sub-muscularly. Pre-pectoral breast reconstruction can substitute biological mesh products (called acellular dermal matrices) for muscle to protect, cover, and support a patient’s implants.
The doctors at Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery consider various factors when deciding on the technique that will give you the best results. These factors include your specific cancer diagnosis, planned adjuvant therapy, whether to use implants or tissue for the reconstruction, and more.
While there are many patients who still benefit from a more traditional method of breast reconstruction, the number of patients eligible for pre-pectoral breast reconstruction is growing. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss whether this technique is the best option for you.
This technique is used for:
Finding the right plastic surgeon for your pre-pectoral (over-the-muscle) breast reconstruction procedure is critical. Our doctors have decades of experience making each and every patient feel beautiful and confident with the latest, most innovative practices.

“I was looking for a very good plastic surgeon, and among google I found Dr. Brown & Dr. Bruno to be the top doctors in the DC area. Dr. Brown did my breast reduction 3 weeks ago and I can say I am absolutely so happy with the results! He’s a very caring and friendly doctor who has years of experience, really knows what he’s doing and is detail oriented. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Bruno’s for several years now. He’s not only a talented surgeon, but he has a very gentle, comforting manner. I broke my nose recently, which would have been extremely traumatic if it weren’t for the calm and confident way he handled the situation. Based on past experience with him, I knew that he was the best person to do the surgery. The surgery was easy and painless and my nose looks great.”
“You need to know that what you do makes a profound difference in a person’s life. I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude for what you have done for me. Rest assured that I am and will always be eternally grateful for the difference you have made in my life. From my heart, I thank you.”
— Anonymous “I have had 3 procedures (filler, tummy tuck, and thigh lift) performed by Dr. Bruno, and I have been more than satisfied each time. In fact, I’m in the process of scheduling a breast augmentation. Dr. Bruno is patient, hands-on, easy to talk to, and very responsive. His patient coordinator, Lori, is fantastic. The staff is very friendly and professional.”
