What Does a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Involve?

Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation DCHundreds of thousands of women undergo the breast augmentation procedure each year. The incredibly popular procedure can involve a variety of implant types or a fat transfer procedure. With several options, you may be wondering which procedure is right for you. While your goals for your breasts may end up dictating which augmentation is right for you, many women opt for a fat transfer procedure as opposed to implants.

The fat transfer breast augmentation procedure

The fat transfer breast augmentation is a great option for women who want to enlarge their breasts without the use of implants and also remove fat from other areas of the body. The procedure involves removing fat from another area of your body, such as the tummy, and placing the fat within the breasts to enlarge their appearance. This procedure also leaves behind minimal scarring and has a short recovery time of just a couple of days.

Deciding on a fat transfer augmentation vs. breast implants

Each type of implant or transfer of fat can give a different overall result. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals for your breasts and how each type of implant or fat transfer could benefit you. Our doctors are highly trained and perform technically advanced procedures to achieve the best possible results. We can walk you through the specifics of each procedure so you feel informed prior to making a decision on how to move forward. We will also support you throughout your recovery period to ensure everything is healing properly even with minimally invasive procedures.

Whether you’re just getting started in the process of learning about procedure options or you’re ready to move forward, schedule a consultation with us today to learn more about your options and what may work best for you.

Mommy Makeover: New Year, New Body

Mommy MakeoverWe all have New Year’s resolutions, many of which focus on our wellbeing both inside and outside of our body. Unfortunately for many busy moms, sometimes even with an excellent diet, exercise, and mental health routine you still have trouble reaching your goals. This year, don’t give up on your goals just because your routine isn’t working. If you’re ready to see a change in your body that can improve your confidence and give you the shape you want, a mommy makeover might be right for you.

Benefits of a mommy makeover procedure:

  • It’s meant to fit your goals– Not all mommy makeovers are the same because not all patients are the same. Some patients wish to focus only on one area of their body while others want to target several. Common areas include the breasts, tummy, and buttocks.
  • It can combine recovery times for multiple procedures– Some patients think that splitting up their procedures into several surgeries will help with recovery, but the fact is that when we do several procedures at once we can actually combine your recovery time getting you to your goals and back to normal quicker.
  • It can help boost your confidence– For many moms, the changes you see in your body following pregnancy are hard to adjust to and can seriously affect your confidence and mental health. Many of our patients report that the changes following their mommy makeover have changed their outlook for the better and they feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

Your mommy makeover consultation with Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your lifestyle and the changes you want to see in your body. From there we can recommend procedures that may benefit you and go through the specifics of each so you feel fully informed prior to making a decision. Our team will support you throughout your recovery and aims to help you achieve the body you’ve always wanted through technically advanced procedures.

How to Choose a Doctor for Your Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck in DCThe tummy tuck procedure is a great option for those who have excess skin in their stomach area, those who have gone through pregnancy and wish to reclaim their waist, and those with stubborn fat that they can’t seem to get rid of. But, when you decide a tummy tuck may be an option for you, it’s important to find a doctor you can trust.

Questions to ask your doctor during your tummy tuck consultation

  1. Is the procedure right for me? – Any time you decide to turn to a plastic surgeon, you should find out what procedure or procedures will help achieve your goals. You may go in thinking a tummy tuck is right and find out that another procedure is better for your specific goals.
  2. What does the procedure involve? – This varies from patient to patient so it’s important to ask what your procedure would involve. Depending on the extent of the changes you want to see, your tummy tuck procedure may change.
  3. What’s the recovery time like? – This also varies from patient to patient, but we typically see around 2-3 weeks. Make sure to ask your doctor what you can expect so you feel prepared and informed before making a final decision.
  4. Should I combine this procedure with others? – We often have patients combine procedures to achieve their results without having to go through two separate recovery periods. If you’re interested in targeting an area beside your tummy, we can talk about other procedures that could benefit you.
  5. What is your experience with this procedure? – This is an important question to ask any plastic surgeon prior to any procedure. You want to be sure they know what they’re doing and are knowledgeable about the procedure.

Choosing the right doctor for your tummy tuck procedure

It’s important to find a doctor that you’re comfortable with and you feel you can trust. Our doctors are board-certified and highly trained in a variety of plastic surgery procedures. We use state-of-the-art equipment and perform technically advanced procedures to achieve the best possible result. Our goal is to make sure you’re informed prior to surgery and understand what to expect before we get started.

The 4 Things You Need to Know About Breast Reductions

Breast Reduction DCDo you suffer from overdeveloped, painful breasts? You’re not alone. In 2019, over 46,000 patients underwent a breast reduction for aesthetic purposes while over 60,000 underwent a breast reduction for reconstructive purposes. Thousands of women suffer from breasts that are too large and end up making everyday life difficult. If you’re ready to make a change and reduce the size of your breasts, a breast reduction may be right for you.

4 things you need to know before your breast reduction

  1. It can reduce back and neck pain– Many women suffer from back or neck pain due to their large breasts. This procedure can help reduce or remove the pain you’ve been dealing with and help you lead a more active and comfortable lifestyle.
  2. Your insurance may cover the cost of the procedure– Some patients are able to have their breast reduction costs covered, or partially covered, if the procedure is completed for health reasons.
  3. Recovery is typically 1-2 weeks– With a relatively short recovery time, you can be back to normal in no time.
  4. There is a difference between a reduction and a lift– Many patients ask about the difference between a reduction and a lift. If you’re in need of perkier breasts, a lift may do the trick whereas if your breasts are too large a reduction is likely the best option. In some cases, we’ve combined the two to achieve the patient’s desired results.

Your breast reduction consultation with Bruno | Brown

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and help decide if a breast reduction is the right choice for you. We can explain what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and will be there to support you throughout the entire process.

When To Consider Breast Implants

Breast Implants in DCBreast implants are common among women who wish to achieve larger, more symmetrical breasts. Many women wish to achieve larger looking breasts. Some turn to push-up bras, others turn to workout routines, but the only way to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results is breast implants.

Signs that breast implants may be right for you:

  • You’re unable to achieve your desired result non-surgically– Push-up bras, exercise, and other non-surgical options can certainly help your breasts look larger than they are, but if you’re still unable to achieve the results you want and you’re ready for a more permanent solution, breast implants might be right for you.
  • You want more symmetrical breasts– It’s very common for women to have two different sized breasts. In most cases, the difference in breast size can be masked with clothes and clever bra tricks but if you suffer from a major difference and you’re ready for your breasts to match, breast implants can help.
  • You want to achieve more cleavage and larger breasts– Breast implants can make your breasts larger and/or achieve more cleavage. Whether you’re simply looking to achieve a fuller breast or you’re wanting to achieve a larger look, we can help find the right implant for you.

Preparing for your breast implant consultation

When you come to Bruno | Brown for a breast implant consultation we’ll go through the different implant options with you and compare their results to your goals to find the perfect implant for you. We’ll discuss how you would like your breasts to look and any questions you have about the procedure. We aim to make our patients feel informed and confident about their procedures before making any final decisions.

What is a mommy makeover?

Some patients wish to target one area of their body while others wish to target many. The beauty of combining multiple procedures into one mommy makeover is that you get to combine your recovery time, which is certainly what busy moms need. The average recovery lasts around 2-3 weeks depending on the procedures you opt for but the results are often lifechanging. Typical procedures performed during the mommy makeover are:

  • Breast augmentation or reduction
  • Breast lift
  • Tummy tuck
  • Liposuction

4 Reasons To Undergo a DC Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation DCThe breast augmentation procedure is incredibly common and chances are you know someone who has undergone the procedure. There are several reasons patients opt for a breast augmentation and whether you’re looking to make a slight or significant change we can talk through your options in your consultation.

4 reasons the DC breast augmentation might be right for you

  1. You want larger breasts– Perhaps the most common reason, many patients wish to achieve larger breasts through an augmentation.
  2. Your breasts are asymmetrical– Many women have asymmetrical breasts with varying severity. A breast augmentation can give you the symmetrical breasts you desire.
  3. You want your breasts to match your body– Some women are born with naturally smaller breasts and may simply want their breasts to match the rest of their body. A breast augmentation can be used to make your breast slightly larger, much larger, or simply offer your body more balanced proportions.
  4. You want more breast volume– After pregnancy, weight loss, or aging you may notice your breasts aren’t as full as they once were. A breast augmentation can help you achieve the full and voluptuous chest you once had.

If one or more of these reasons applies to you and you want to learn more about your breast augmentation options, give us a call to schedule a consultation.
