Breast

Ideal candidates for breast surgery are those over the age of 18 who are unhappy with the size, volume, or shape of their chest. Ideal patients should also have fully developed breasts and be in generally good health with a stable weight that doesn’t significantly fluctuate.

There are risks associated with any operation, but in general, healthy patients are not likely to experience any complications with breast surgery.

Dr. Desman performs all breast surgery procedures in safe and accredited surgical centers in the Northern Virginia area where professional medical staff are on hand to protect patient comfort and safety.

Breast surgery procedures can require a recovery period of about four to six weeks, depending on the specific procedure and other factors.

Still, Dr. Desman utilizes advanced surgical and anesthesia techniques to make your recovery as fast as possible. And for breast augmentation surgery, we have a rapid recovery that gets patients back to normal activity 24 – 48 hours after surgery.

Our team is committed to helping you get the results you want, so we’ll also provide you with post-care tips to maximize your short and long-term results and minimize the risk of complications.

If you gain or lose significant weight, get pregnant, or experience hormonal changes, these factors can also affect the size and feel of your breasts.

It depends on the type of procedure you have, but most breast surgeries allow you to breastfeed afterward. It really depends upon how much glandular breast tissue and milk ducts are disturbed by the procedure.

Dr. Desman will routinely review what, if any, impact your surgery will have on your ability to breastfeed in the future.

For healthy patients, breast surgery typically has minimal risks. But for optimal results, it’s best to choose a board-certified physician who must adhere to strict national standards for skills, experience, and education.

Dr. Desman is a board-certified plastic surgeon who provides the highest level of cosmetic surgery care to patients in the Northern Virginia area.

While complications from breast surgery are rare, Dr. Desman will be there to take care of you. In addition, when you have surgery, you will automatically be enrolled in a cosmetic surgery–specific insurance plan that covers you for the first 45 days after surgery.

Your safety and well-being are a top priority for us, and this service is another way that we ensure you have the best care possible.
