When Is the Best Time to Get a Breast Augmentation?

Posted on February 23, 2021 by dcadmin

So you’ve read articles, looked at before/after photos, and begun to research doctors but you may still be wondering, what is the best time to get a breast augmentation?

Ideal timing for your breast augmentation procedure

You’re near your ideal body weight– We recommend that our patients are near their ideal body weight as weight loss and weight gain can have a large impact on the appearance of your breasts. 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.
You’re ready to make a change in appearance– We understand that most patients take time to do their research prior to scheduling a consultation, but it’s important to fully understand the procedure you’re opting into. 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

We’ll go through your goals and questions during your consultation. We feel it’s important that each patient is making an informed decision when it comes to their body. If we feel another procedure would benefit you more, we’ll discuss that option as well. Our doctors are highly trained and aim to give you the result you want through our technically advanced procedures. To learn more about our process and if a breast augmentation is the right option for you schedule a consultation with us.

What procedure/procedures do you recommend for me? You may go into a consultation assuming that one procedure is right for you and find out that another may achieve a better result. It’s important to find out what procedure/procedures will give you the result you want and this gives you a chance to learn more about your options.
Am I a good candidate for plastic surgery? A good doctor will always ensure that you’re a good candidate for a procedure. We generally recommend patients are in good health, have realistic expectations, and aren’t currently pregnant (depending on the procedure).

Your 4 Breast Augmentation Options

Posted on February 10, 2021February 4, 2021 by dcadmin

If you’re curious about breast augmentations but aren’t sure if they’re right for you, we can help you find the right implant to achieve your goals. Hundreds of thousands of women opt into breast augmentation surgery each year but not all procedures are the same. There are 4 distinct ways to augment the breasts. Whether you’re looking to drastically increase your breast size, get a bit of a boost, or simply gain symmetry, there’s an option made just for you.

The four options you have for a breast augmentation

Ideal 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.
Silicone Implant– A silicone shell is filled to your desired volume and offers a more natural feel.
Saline Implants– The shell is filled with saline to your preferred volume, increasing the shape and size of your breasts with a firmer feel.
Fat Grafting– Achieves a fuller look with a careful injection of fat. Fat is injected through very small straw-like cannulas leaving minimal evidence of the procedure.

Our experience with breast augmentations

We’re passionate about helping our patients achieve their goals through procedures that are suited to their needs. During your initial consultation, we’ll go through the different options and how they can benefit you. We’ll walk you through each procedure and recovery time so you feel confident and informed before we get started.

Breast Reduction Vs. Breast Lift – What’s The Difference?

Posted on February 3, 2021February 1, 2021 by dcadmin

Many women come to us wanting to improve the appearance of their breasts but aren’t quite sure what procedure is right for them. If you aren’t sure whether you need a breast reduction, breast lift, or even both we can help.

Which breast procedure is right for you?

Looking for a boost– If you’re looking to make your breasts a bit perkier, you’re likely a candidate for a lift. The breast lift is meant to help breasts that have become saggy over time by lifting them up and giving them a more youthful look.
Looking for less volume– If you suffer from overly large breasts that end up causing you pain and/or make it difficult to find clothes or participate in physical activity a breast reduction may be best. The breast reduction is meant to reduce the volume of your breast and give you a more proportional chest.
Looking for a bit of both– Some women want less volume and a boost in which case we may combine procedures to achieve your desired result.
Not sure– If you’re not sure exactly what you need but you want to do something to improve your breasts we can assess your breasts along with your goals to find the right procedure or combination of procedures for you.

What we’ll discuss during your breast reduction and/or breast lift consultation

During your breast consultation, we will walk through your goals and the current state of your breasts to come up with the right procedure plan for you. We’ll help you find out if you’re a good candidate for a lift and/or reduction and talk through the specifics of each procedure. We perform technically advanced procedures to achieve the best possible result and aim to give you the breasts you’ve been dreaming of.

Your Mommy Makeover Questions Answered

Posted on January 31, 2021February 1, 2021 by dcadmin

You have questions, we have answers! You’ve likely heard of a tummy tuck, a breast lift or reduction, liposuction and more, but what about a mommy makeover? This popular procedure has become a great option for moms who’ve found that diet and exercise can’t help them achieve the body they want on top of their busy schedules as moms and often career women. If you’re curious about the procedure and want to know, more keep reading.

Mommy makeover Q&A

Q: What is a mommy makeover?

A: The mommy makeover is not a one size fits all procedure. We recognize that each woman has different “problem” areas that they would like to address. The mommy makeover can include a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, breast reduction, liposuction and more. It’s designed to fit your needs and give you the body you’ve been trying to achieve.

Q: Why combine multiple procedures?

A: We recommend combining procedures, for example, a tummy tuck and breast augmentation, as it ends up combining your recovery time. Many moms don’t have much free time to recover from surgery so when you get more than one procedure at once, your downtime is cut in half. The typical recovery time is 2-3 weeks depending on the procedures you have done.

Q: Is it right for me?

A: We’ll discuss this during your consultation but there are a variety of factors to consider before going through surgery. For instance, we recommend that moms are done having children as their bodies can continue to change following another pregnancy. We also recommend that patients are healthy overall and have realistic expectations for their procedure.

How to prepare for a mommy makeover consultation

When you come for your consultation we’ll discuss your goals and what areas you would like to target. We can explain your different surgical options so you understand what you’re signing up for before we get started. Our main goals are to achieve your satisfaction and keep your wellbeing top of mind.

Questions to ask During Your Tummy Tuck Consultation

Posted on January 26, 2021January 21, 2021 by dcadmin

Thousands of individuals undergo the tummy tuck procedure every year. Whether it’s to get back to a pre-baby body, remove excess skin from weight loss, or simply to improve the look of their tummy, we’re ready to help you achieve your tummy goals. But despite its popularity and countless articles with FAQs, there are questions you should ask during your tummy tuck consultation.

Questions for your tummy tuck consultation

What procedure is right for me? We perform full, mini, and extended tummy tucks to help our patients achieve their desired look. Depending on your goals and the amount of fat/skin removal required to get there will dictate what procedure is right for you.
What is your experience with the procedure? It’s important that your surgeon is well versed in the procedure you’re looking to have completed.
What can I expect for recovery time? Recovery time will vary depending on the extent of your procedure so you should ask your surgeon what to expect prior to getting started. Additionally, some individuals heal faster than others so your surgeon should be able to give you an estimated recovery time based on a variety of factors. The average recovery time is roughly 2-3 weeks.
Is this the best procedure for me? You may think a tummy tuck is best for you and can achieve your results but that may not be the case. In some scenarios, we recommend additional procedures to achieve your desired look. For example, a mommy makeover if you’re trying to achieve your pre-baby body or an arm or thigh lift if you have additional skin that needs to be removed.

The 3 Considerations You Should Make Before Undergoing a Breast Lift

Posted on January 18, 2021January 13, 2021 by dcadmin

When 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

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.
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.
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.

During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the steps of a breast lift and discuss whether or not we should combine an augmentation or reduction with your lift to give you the overall look you desire. We’ll answer any questions you have about the procedure as well as recovery so you feel confident moving forward.
