C. Coleman Brown, MD, FACS

I am more than happy with my results from my breast augmentation with fat transfer by Dr.Brown. Although I am only a week out from surgery, I’m extremely excited with my results. Background info is: I am a 26 year old, 5’7 145 lb woman. I’m fit and in shape overall and my hips and legs carry most of my weight (pear shaped). My breasts were an A cup before the procedure. Now I am a B cup. I always wanted fuller breasts, not necessarily extremely large since I have a full butt and I like having a smaller physique on top to balance out my bottom half. I considered implants but preferred a more natural approach. I did not know this procedure existed until I happened to google it one day, and was shocked when it actually existed as a procedure! I went for a consultation and Dr. Brown explained he could take fat from the front of my legs, hips, under my buttocks and flanks (love handles). I did not realize my flanks were fatty at the time, but now that they are reduced in fat I am SO happy I had it added to the procedure. If you are looking to increase to your breasts to an “exact” cup size or looking for more than one cup size then this most likely isn’t the procedure for you. For my own body, liposuction plus breast size increase was a win / win. The experience at the consultation office as well as at the hospital for surgery was professional as well as comforting. I enjoyed every person I worked with each step of the way. And I was nervous surgery day! Dr. Brown helped reassure me as well as my mom before surgery. Thankfully I had my mom to drive me and stay with me the first two nights because I was pretty sore and needed assistance with simple things such as grabbing water from the kitchen and pain meds from across the room. (Aka don’t try to do this alone!) Transitioning from getting up or laying down or sitting down is the most uncomfortable part. My scars are so minimal and can be easily hidden by a bathing suit. Dr. Brown is obviously very knowledgeable in what he does. I appreciated that he was honest in surgery results and expectations and was helpful in answering any questions and concerns I had.

The other photos seemed to be cropped so here is a full body shot of before and after one week after operation. (Marks on my legs is pre-op marker and bruising)

Some updates: My bruising on my legs have subsided! Yay! Thankfully I only wear the compression pants about half of the time now. I still am sleeping on my back each night, Dr.Brown said I could sleep on my side but my thighs and hips are still a bit too sore to put that much pressure on them. I’m off my pain meds completely. I was cleared to go back to the gym as usual at my one week post op appointment. I’m not wearing any type of underwire bra so outfit choices are a bit challenging sometimes. (Probably choosing to do this procedure in fall / winter is a better timing choice). My scars are so tiny and healing well, though are a bit sore sometimes. I’ve been using mederma each day to help the healing process. I’m still really happy with my results !

I adore Dr. Brown! I have been going to him for botox and under eye laser for years!! I am almost 60 and extremely happy with my skin! I will never go to anyone else! I have also referred many friends to him. They have all had many different cosmetic procedures from eye lifts to mini face lifts! They all look amazing.. and so natural!! Thank you Dr. Brown . Sarah is also amazing.. so smart and talented!!!!!

I am so grateful that I was recommended Dr. Brown by my Ob/Gyn for my tummy tuck and he was also recommended for facial plastic surgery by one of New York's most prominent plastic surgeons who I saw in the past when I lived there. Dr. Brown is the most kind, approachable and skilled doctor I've ever been under the care of. And I couldn't be happier with the results. The results were above and beyond what I hoped for and it is such a pleasure to shop for clothes now and wear a bikini with confidence. There is no reason to go anywhere else. Their skin care specialist Sara is so knowledgeable as well and her treatments and regimen have done wonders for my skin,. I couldn't recommend this practice more.

Dr. Brown is truly the best plastic surgeon! I started going to his office for just Botox but was curious about smartlipo and after speaking with him about the procedure, I decided to finally get it done. I had Smart Lipo on my flanks and had amazing results. Dr. Brown explains everything to you prior to your surgery and is so kind and gentle. I went back to Dr. Brown for my breast augmentation even though I have plenty of plastic surgeon friends that would have done the procedure for free. I’m so happy that I’ve found such an amazing surgeon!

I have had large gauges earlobes since I was 15 (17 years). At their largest, they were 3/4”, and now are closed an almost completely healed thanks to the wonderful Dr. Brown! Dr. Brown performed two fat grafts in my abdomen and injected into my earlobes. This fattened up my lobes for the closure procedure on third visit. There was about 6 weeks of healing time between grafts. I am so thrilled with the results. Dr. Brown addressed my repair in the way an artist would. Now I have plump, pretty earlobes again. He had an aesthetic approach, in addition to the reconstructive repair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. A++++++

Excellent, caring and skilled physician. Fabulous choice. Had used another surgeon with disappointing results. Found Dr. Coleman and could not be more pleased with my breasts. They look beautiful. Office staff and his bedside manner are professional, kind and respectful.

Dr. Brown is a terrific plastic surgeon. I tried out his "beside manner" with smartlipo first. It was wonderful. He talked me through the whole procedure and told me what to expect. Because the experience was so great, I chose him as my breast implant surgeon. He couldn't have been nicer or more responsive to me, my family and my friends. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Brown and his staff are fantastic. I had consultations for breast augmentation with a few other surgeons in the DC area, and Dr. Brown was by far my favorite. He was professional, informative and was just an all around really kind person. He and his staff were patient in answering all of my questions (thanks so much, Lori and Lexie!) and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process — from the initial consultation and pre-op appointment to surgery day and post-op appointments. I had never had surgery before, so I was a little anxious, but the experience was smooth and pleasant (as pleasant as surgery can be, that is.) Recovery was surprisingly a breeze — there was some discomfort the first couple of nights, but overall, it really wasn’t bad. I’m very happy with the experience I had and the results, and can not recommend Dr. Brown and his team enough.

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. My Oncologist and other doctors who have seen his work were just as impressed as I was and all have asked for the name of my talented Dr. Brown. There are so many positive things I could say about him, but I'll end with saying he and his staff are the best, I would not hesitate for a moment to refer friends and family members to him and If I could give him more stars, I would give him 10! Love and peace to Dr. Brown and his staff.

Dr. C. Coleman Brown’s skill and expertise in surgical procedures, in my experience, is unmatched. I am fortunate to be in the care of Dr. Brown’s team- which includes his exceptional staff. Dr. Brown is very attentive to the needs of his patients and he always goes to extraordinary measures to fully ensure a positive and stress-free medical experience. Throughout a 12-month period of chemotherapy and during my most recent procedure from a bilateral mastectomy, Dr. Brown and his staff performed a truly remarkable reconstruction on me. I feel so fortunate for this and cannot be any happier with the final result. To find the plastic surgeon best suited for your cosmetic needs, or the right surgeon for your reconstruction, I believe you cannot do better than Dr. C. Coleman Brown.
