"Flash recovery" breast augmentation--another marketing term to describe what you want to hear!

As you know from reading about this "patented" technique, careful breast pocket creation using cautery dissection rather than blunt-force dissection is what allows "Flash Recovery." I absolutely agree with the idea that careful and precise surgical technique (other plastic surgeons call this the "no-touch technique" or the "24-hour recovery breast augmentation") is going to yield less surgical trauma to the tissues, with less bruising, bleeding, and... more

Once Again Surgeons Doubting Concept of Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation

First off, of course I would market something this good! Just as surgeons are warning you of being careful of marketing "gimmicks", you should also be wary of surgeons who have not performed the research on this topic and are not aware of its merits, and are quick to dismiss this as a "gimmick." The word gimmick implies that something is dishonest, untrue, or without true merit/value. This is NOT a gimmick, but yes it is a clever marketing term for a... more

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question. Be careful of marketing gimmicks and of surgeons who rely on the marketing gimmicks. in my experience, many of the surgeons are not well experienced, ethical, and/or may not be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It may not be obvious to the average “consumer” but surgeons who do good work generally do not have to rely on these marketing techniques. In regards to achieving a specific breast cup size: COMMUNICATE... more

This is pure marketing

The energy and discussion created by the FLASH is remarkable. But when distilled down to its core, it is the techniques employed by good surgeons worldwide. Regarding change from A to D sizing....highly improbable to be without significant discomfort and risk negative outcome. You might reconsider a more modest augmentation for a more predicatable and safer outcome.

"Flash recovery" breast augmentation

Going from an A cup to a D cup will result in more pain and discomfort than going from an A cup to a B or C cup with a smaller implant. Using an atraumatic technique with breast augmentation with precise pocket creation and the use of cautery dissection rather than blunt dissection will also allow for a more rapid recovery with less pain.

Breast augmentation

I think most surgeons who do the periareolar approach or the inframammary approach use cautery for dissection. And most surgeons who care try not to be too rough when handling the breast tissue. In my opinion this is nothing new, but more of a marketing strategy as suggested below to get patients to come in. Bottom line is you want to have a great result and I would focus on trying to find someone who will give you a great result. If you go from an A to a D under the muscle you most likely... more

"Flash Recovery" and A to a D Breast Augmentation

"Flash Recovery" is a clever marketing term to the post-Breast Augmentation RECOVERY that may be possible IF: - an appropriate Breast Implant is Chosen - The implants are placed as atraumatically as possible (using precise implant pocket creation with the cautery rather than blunt finger or blunt instrument tearing) In my experience, A - breasted women have limited skin and challenging and stretching it with a "D implant" is incompatible with a rapid, relatively... more

Flash recovery, early and late stages.

Cautery dissection has been done for a very long time. Even if there is little pain or bruising in the early stages, healing and the result can be adversly affected by excessive activity. Remember, it is the scar tissue (capsule) that holds the implant in position. Time and reduced activity allow a good result. The surgical technique is the prelimmary step. The activities of the care free patient can adversely affect the outcome. A patient that... more

The bigger your implant , the more painful your recovery. you must realize that you are having a real operation not a "simple procedure". give yourself some time to recover after surgery. good luck

Flash Recovery just as advertising idea Not new.

This is from Dr Ghavami's website: The term Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation has been coined by Dr. Ashkan Ghavami and refers to a specialized technique that reduces the recovery time and pain that occur with standard breast augmentation surgery. This is based on the innovative quick recovery concepts and techniques first published by Dr. John Tebbetts. Through Dr. Tebbetts’ research, it has been shown that breast augmentation recovery can be reduced to less than 24 hours! In... more

Recovery after breast implant surgery

Flash recovery breast augmentation is a patented technique (at least that is the claim) employing cautery to dissect out the tissues for augmentation with minimal dissection. The claim is less bleeding with cautery means quicker or flash recovery and quicker surgery. Proponents claim patients are able to carry out many everyday activities (brush their hair, take a shower, or go out for dinner and/or even a movie) within 24 hours of the operation. Patients with small implants can do this no... more

Flash recovery breast augmentation

Is flash recovery for you, it all may be a matter of state of mind. If you believe you are recovered and can move free of discomfort, then you have recovered in a flash. Another term which has been effectively marketed is rapid recovery breast augmentation. None of these terms is fixed to any particular surgical technique and you certainly can go from an A-cup to a D-cup if your goal is such, and your tissue will allow. Seek a surgeon committed less to flash, than safe and exceptional... more

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Dear, If you are going from an A cup size to a D cup size. The skin and muscle will be stretched and this can cause discomfort and sometimes pain in the early recovery period. I don't know what the definition of flash recovery is, but realistically speaking it usually takes a few days to feel comfortable after a big augmentation. Good luck!
