When it comes to surgery to improve breast appearance, there are a number of options available to women considering the procedure. One of the new options making waves is the R24R breast implant, an advanced placement technique that provides a rapid recovery. In this article, we will explore the benefits of the technique.

What is the rapid recovery breast implant?

The R24R breast implant is a revolutionary technique designed to provide a rapid recovery.

It follows 14 safety points and also includes a kind of internal bra, which helps stabilize the implant on the chest wall. The safety points have greatly reduced the risk of complications. The R24R technique is highly customizable according to the patient's chest type to reach the ideal volume, height, and texture, thus delivering the dreamed result.

The benefits

In practical terms for patients, silicone implants with the rapid recovery technique mean:

  • Minimized tissue damage, less redness and bruising.
  • Less postoperative pain
  • Return to normal activities of daily life within 24 hours
  • Use of hands and arms normally on the same day
  • Washing and combing hair on the same day
  • Lifting arms above the head on the same day
  • Smaller incisions in strategic locations
  • Reduced dependence on pain medications
  • Maintained privacy, with no need for someone to take care of the patient.
  • Reduced risk of implant displacement
  • Reduced risk of abnormal scarring.
  • Reduced recovery time
  • Quick recovery with minimal downtime

The 14 Safety Points

It is essential to ask your surgeon if they adhere to the 14-point plan. The 14-point plan is designed to reduce the amount of manipulation during surgery. This decreases the occurrence of seroma, hematoma, capsular contracture, and probably ALCL. It was first stated in 2013 and is now implemented in many parts of the world. The 14-point plan is indispensable. Here they are:

  1. Administer intravenous antibiotics at the start of anesthesia.
  2. In order to reduce the risk of capsular contracture, we do not make peri-areolar or axillary incisions.
  3. Use nipple protectors to prevent bacteria from breast ducts from entering.
  4. During the surgery process, make sure to perform a gentle dissection to ensure tissue is not damaged.
  5. Take special care to cauterize any bleeding during the procedure, known as prospective hemostasis.
  6. When performing the procedure, refrain from cutting breast tissue.
  7. Irrigate the pocket with appropriate solutions, such as an antibiotic solution known to be effective.
  8. To prevent direct contact between the breast implant and skin bacteria, it is recommended to use an introduction sleeve (funnel).
  9. Use new instruments, retractors, and gloves when handling the implant and tools.
  10. The time between removing the implant from its sterile packaging and its placement in the breast should be kept to a minimum.
  11. Sizers should not be used, nor should the implant be removed and repositioned through the skin.
  12. Layered closure should be implemented.
  13. Whenever possible, drains should be avoided, as they could be a pathway for bacteria.
  14. Finally, the use of antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended.

The Internal Bra

The internal bra is designed to provide extra support and stability. The system consists of a specific support suture/thread that surrounds the chest wall, an extra support layer that helps fix the inframammary fold in the ideal place to deliver the result the patient desires.

This internal bra also reduces the chance of the implant shifting downward over the years.

The Lateral Muscle Strap

In addition to the internal bra, the lateral muscle strap, from the patient's own pectoral muscle, is also used to make the implant even more stable.

This technique gives the result patients dream of: when lying on the beach to sunbathe, the breasts do not fall to the sides of the body, keeping the cleavage beautiful.

If you are considering breast implants to enlarge your breasts and want to achieve a rapid recovery, then the R24R breast implant may be the right choice for you. Talk to us now on WhatsApp.
