Pre-Pectoral Breast Reconstruction DC | Bruno|Brown Plastic Surgery

A Forward-Thinking Technique That Can Help Alleviate Pain and Discomfort

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.

Considerations for Your DC-area Pre-Pectoral Breast Reconstruction:

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:

Patients undergoing mastectomy
Previously reconstructed patients
Active patients

“I’ve seen Dr. Bruno for a scar revision on my chest. He helped improve a prominent area that I was very self-conscious about. The office is calm, clean, and professional, and I look forward to going each visit.”

“Just wanted to say thank you so much- I came in on Monday and you removed a cyst on my left cheek. I performed the National Anthem on Saturday at the Nuggets and no one could even tell I had a scar or anything. It’s so tiny already, so I really appreciate your great work!”

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2015 and chose to have a double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. My breast surgeon referred me to Dr. Brown of Bruno Brown Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, and after my first meeting with Dr. Coleman Brown, I knew I didn’t need to look any further! His staff greeted me with smiles and made me feel very comfortable.”
