Who is it for?
The 24-hour rapid recovery breast augmentation is a procedure that relies on process oriented steps that maximizes planning, minimizes tissue damage and allows patients to get back on their feet in as little as a few hours after waking up from anesthesia.
The recovery time is minimal because the procedure involves no bleeding, minimal tissue damage, and is very gentle and precise. It allows the patient to continue with regular life by that very same evening or the next day. Heavy exercise and intense work should be avoided initially; however, patients are encouraged to get moving right away.
Patients who have undergone the 24-hour breast augmentation procedure can manage any lingering pain with over-the-counter painkillers.
BEFORE & AFTER
A direct comparison of the 24-hour recovery method and traditional breast augmentation surgery
24 hour Rapid Recovery | Traditional Surgery | |
|---|---|---|
Surgical Instruments | Electrocautery forceps | An “L shaped” breast blunt dissector |
Surgical Technique |
|
|
Post-operative Routine | Arm exercises performed frequently after surgery, including ambulation and showering that night | Arm movement limited for two weeks |
Incision | Under the Breast (IMF) | Usually under the breast but can be axillary or peri-areolar |
Possible risks | Same as traditional but significantly reduces due to precise operative dissection and prospective hemostasis | Capsular contracture, bleeding. Implant malposition, implant pocket asymmetry |
Anesthesia | General with ERAS recovery pathways initiated preoperatively | General with local blocks |
Recovery | 24 hours | 2 weeks |
Price | Slightly less given less operative time spent intraoperative on implant selection and stepwise dissection process | Same ($8000-$8500) |
Implant Selection | Narrow implant range chosen preoperatively using tissue based planning | Narrow implant range chosen preoperatively using tissue based planning |
Implant Position | Dual Plane | Either Subpectoral, Dual Plane, or Subglandular |
Revision rate (including re-operations) | <5% | 15-25% |
