How is the Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation different from a traditional breast augmentation?
Less Painful. It is very common for patients who have a traditional breast augmentation to need prescription pain pills for about a week, and sometimes even longer. Most Rapid Recovery patients use less than 3 or 4 pain pills throughout their entire recovery period! By Day 2 or 3 after surgery, most Rapid Recovery patients will only need a few extra-strength Tylenol to feel perfectly comfortable.
Less Downtime. If it’s less painful, it’s obvious that there is less downtime as well. Most Rapid Recovery patients are back to normal activities, with the exceptions of heavy lifting and strenuous exercise, after 24 hours, and back to work in 2-3 days.
Less Risky. Because the Rapid Recovery technique leads to far less inflammation, the amount of swelling and bruising is also reduced compared to a traditional breast augmentation. Most of the bruising will be gone after a few days, and most of the swelling will be gone in a week. The risk of serious problems like bleeding is also reduced with the Rapid Recovery technique, as is the risk of minor problems that can occur after using prescription pain pills for extended period of time.
