I saw that another RealSelf user posted she had a flash recovery breast aug and wondered if other doctors offer this quick recovery technique?
Answer: 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 to do a procedure, we share the technique. Good techniques spread rapidly through our peer networks and our annual meetings. Keeping procedures "secret" , or trying to patent them, is unethical, and is forbidden by our national societies.

Answer: Flash recovery breast augmentation Thank you for your question! This answer will vary amongst each surgeon, and it is wisest to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. In my practice, utilizing the fast track technique after breast augmentations, women are readily able and doing most things virtually immediately after this procedure. It is the similar techniques as described and is really gaining popularity. She is even recommended to go out for dinner that evening. However, follow your surgeon's instructions for postoperative care and restrictions, but it is common for most women to resume many of the preoperative activities and duties within a week. I typically restrict heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for approximately 4-6 weeks Swelling and settling of the implant typically occurs over a 6-12 week period, while your incisions commonly resolve to its final appearance in up to a year. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a great result!

Answer: "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.

Answer: Breast augmentation
Anytime you see flashy terms used to describe a procedure these are marketing ploys. It is best to run not walk in the opposite direction. For example liposuction is liposuction not microliposculture etc. Your priorities in evaluating a procedure and surgeon should be safety, results and cost- in that specific order period.
