Procedures | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Our full-service aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery practice specializes in the latest cosmetic and reconstructive treatments for men and women. Plastic surgery consists of surgical procedures aimed at remodeling, repairing or restoring tissue or body parts. Although often considered an elective or cosmetic procedure, plastic surgery can improve or repair a variety of medical conditions.
Breast Procedures:
Breast Augmentation | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Among the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures, a saline or silicone gel-filled implant is inserted through small incisions in the crease under the breast, around the nipple or through the armpit. The implant can be placed under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. After surgery, breasts will appear "fuller" and shapelier in contour.
Breast Lift | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Many factors will often cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. The breasts may sag or become ptotic. A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts. The procedure can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple).
Breast Reduction | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Large, pendulous breasts may impact a woman’s health and self-image. Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes fat, glandular tissue, and excessive skin, resulting in smaller, lighter and firmer breasts that are better-shaped in proportion to rest of the body.
Male Breast Reduction | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Enlarged male breasts (gynecomasita) are a common condition that affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. Men who feel self-conscious may be helped with breast-reduction surgery. In this procedure fat and/or glandular tissue is removed, resulting in a chest that has a more traditional male contour.
Body
Liposuction | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Liposuction (also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy") sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen, chin, neck and upper arms.
Tummy Tuck | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Tummy Tucks, or abdominoplasty, remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen. The procedure also helps to flatten the abdomen by tightening the surrounding muscles.
Upper Arm Lift | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown

Thigh Lift | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Thigh lift or thighplasty removes excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thigh region. A thigh lift produces a more youthful appearance of the thigh region. The scars are typically hidden in the bikini line.
Face
Facelift | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Over time, many personal and environmental factors may cause coarse wrinkling and sagging skin on one’s face. A facelift can considerably reduce these signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and redraping the skin around the neck and face.

Ear Pinning | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown

Chin Augmentation | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Chin surgery can change the shape of the chin to reduce a prominent chin or to extend the chin from the face. The contour of the chin can be reshaped to be smoother, or more angular in appearance.

Scar Revision | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Plastic surgeons can use new techniques, both surgical and non-surgical to improve a permanent and unsightly scar. The non-surgical techniques include application of topical treatments, silicone gels, and in-office injection of steroids. Surgical techniques for scar correction include the release of scar bands produced from burns, excision of scars with plastic surgery closure, and dermabrasion.
Wounds may be caused from a variety of mechanisms including trauma, accidents, surgery, or poor blood flow. Various techniques, both surgical and non-surgical are used to treat these wounds. Burns create a special type of wound which may occur through heat, chemical, or electrical exposure. All have the potential to injure not only the skin, but also the deeper underlying structures.

Fine lines and wrinkles that are a result of the aging process can often be improved with injectable fillers.
Chemical Peels | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Skin peeling can eliminate many fine skin wrinkles caused by aging and sun damage by restoring some of the elasticity of the skin.
Fat Grafting | Plastic Surgery in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia | Dr. Bruno & Dr. Brown
Fat grafting is a technique that affords improvement in contour deficient areas by transferring fat cells from one area of the body to another. Typical application of this treatment involves plumping the lips, improving facial contour or filling a scar depression.
Fractional Laser treatments reduce wrinkles with a quicker recovery than traditional laser resurfacing. This treatment uses a fraction of the full laser beam providing a deep dermal penetration to stimulate the tissue and produce more collagen.
Also known as "laser peel," laser skin resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) or an erbium laser beam which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at controlled levels of penetration. The procedure removes areas of damaged or wrinkled skin minimizes the appearance of fine lines and is effective in treating facial scars and skin areas with uneven pigmentation.
