Is Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation Too Good To Be True-Read Before Judging
Understandably, many surgeons are reluctant to admit that quick recovery is possible. While the name is developed for marketing purposes and describes the recovery in an interesting tongue in cheek sort of way, the procedure and its merits are REAL. It is not important whether the name is flash, rapid, or quick recovery but if the surgeon can deliver the results. I stand by it, regardless of criticisms for its name. I wholeheartedly disagree with marketing for marketing's sake...

Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation
This is a wonderful technique starting to gain acceptance amongst plastic surgeons. It was originally developed and published by Dr. John Tebbetts in Dallas, TX. I have studied this technique and believe it contains a lot of merit. I utilizethe preoperative assessment and intraoperative techniques in my practice and think they work very well for my patients. I do think that most patients respond well, but that not all patients fall into the 24 hour rule....

Rapid recovery breast augmentation
There are many factors that determine how any individual recovers. One of those veriables is the technique that the surgeon uses. This is real and can make a significant difference in your recovery time. You do, however, have to be careful as many people use other techniques and their "rapid recovery" may be only a marketing technique. Ask for references.

Quick recovery following breast augmentation with implants
Quick recovery following breast augmentation with implants varies depending on several factors including but not limited individual pain tolerance, range of motion exercises (see rapid recovery video), implant size, over/under placment, skin envelope compliance, peri-operative pain management regimen and techniques, etc.

To repeat what the other plastic surgeons have said: beware of gimmicks. If things sound too good to be true, they are. The body will heal the same no matter who it is, removing health factors.

Hard to understand why recovery would be faster...
Your pocket has to be made one way or another. In all cases there is a new pocket where there was none before. In all cases there is an implant placed of varying size. We all strive to be as gentle as human possible to attain these goals, so it is hard to see how it can be a lot better than "traditional" surgery. In my practice there is a huge variation between patients on how they recover. Some brush the surgery off like nothing happened, and want to play softball on day 5....

Flash Breast Augmentation
Flash breast augmentation (FBA) is traditional breast augmentation. The idea is to make the pocket for the implant with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues. While (FBA) is trademarked, it requires the careful use of ordinary surgical techniques. Every good plastic surgeon should strive to place breast implants in the a way that minimizes trauma to the breast and chest.
Be skeptical of plastic surgery with gimmicks. Plastic surgery is a profession. When one of us finds a better way...

"Flash" recover breast augmentation--another crock of ...
Any operation is a form of trauma. The resulting healing is governed by genetic mechanisms. There is no way to hasten normal recovery nor is there any reason to try. Go to a good surgeon who explains the intricacies of the operation and knows how to do the operation and you will get a good result with minimal suffering.

Janet; Be careful if you have the "FLASH" recovery you are not getting a "FLASH" augmentation! Seek more in person opinions. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski
