Breast augmentation R24R

Want to get a silicone prosthesis without a long recovery process? Welcome!

The R24R Silicone Prosthesis is an innovative technique that offers more freedom and self-esteem for women who cannot stop their activities for long after plastic surgery.

In this comprehensive guide, you'll discover everything you need to know about this technique, who it is recommended for, how it's done, and the necessary care.

What is the R24R Silicone Prosthesis?

R24R stands for Real 24 Recovery. Also called fast track recovery, this innovative technique provides quicker recovery, allowing return to daily activities within 24 hours and reducing post-operative discomfort.

What are the differences between the R24R Silicone Prosthesis and the conventional prosthesis?

Conventional Prosthesis:

• At least two weeks to lift arms above shoulder level;
• No lifting weights for at least 45 days;
• Two weeks off work (on average);
• Avoid driving for 2 weeks;
• Higher chance of sensitivity and pain.

R24R Silicone Prosthesis:

• Ability to drive an automatic car and lift weights up to 15kg;
• Freedom to move arms and have a post-operative period without depending on others' care;
• Suitable for mothers who can't be absent from caring for their children;
• Early return to work that doesn't require exercise;
• Use of a 14-point safety plan during the procedure.

With the R24R technique, the patient performs the first arm movements under the team's guidance still in the hospital and is discharged approximately 3 to 4 hours after surgery.

This technique also allows for better implant stability over time, as the silicone prosthesis is placed behind the pectoral muscle.

Who is the R24R Silicone Prosthesis indicated for?

The R24R is recommended for those who:

• Want to increase breast size and projection
• Have small breasts or have lost volume after breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging
• Seek more body harmony and want more self-esteem

This technique is not recommended for women with significant breast sagging; in such cases, a mastopexy is more appropriate and does not offer the same 24-hour recovery.

It is also not recommended for patients who already have implants, as this technique is not used for implant replacement.

How is the R24R Silicone Prosthesis surgery performed?

The procedure involves introducing the breast implant using the grip plane or dual plane technique, meaning the prosthesis is placed below the pectoral major muscle. The inframammary incision is only 3 to 5 cm, and the surgery lasts approximately 90 minutes under general anesthesia.

At Arte Clínica, we offer artistic differentiators such as:

• Internal bra
• 14-point safety plan
• Hybrid mammoplasty
• Grip plane/muscular loop

Many women get silicone implants every year worldwide without significant complications. However, when it comes to surgeries, every precaution is crucial.

The 14-point safety checklist in breast implant surgery was developed to minimize the number of bacteria that could contaminate the silicone prosthesis during the procedure.

These points are specific procedures to ensure the technique is carried out effectively, including:

• Antibiotic prophylaxis.
• Placing the prosthesis through an incision in the mammary fold.
• Using Nipple Shield to prevent bacteria from escaping through the nipple during surgery.
• Careful tissue dissection to minimize blood collection around the implants.
• Prospective hemostasis, or coagulating blood vessels before bleeding.
• Avoiding dissection of the mammary parenchyma.
• Dual Plane/Grip Plane.
• Pocket irrigation – washing the implant site with an antibiotic solution.
• Minimizing implant contamination using an insertion funnel.
• Reducing implant opening time and avoiding repeated sizing.
• Changing gloves, always using new material when placing the implant.
• Avoiding drains.
• Layered skin closure using barbed sutures.
• Avoiding invasive procedures, like dental work, shortly after surgery. If necessary, prophylactic antibiotics are recommended.

These precautions are essential for the R24R to be successful. The entire procedure is conducted with total safety, and you will be informed of all details during your consultation.

Benefits

The primary benefit of the R24R silicone prosthesis is the rapid recovery. Other benefits include:

• Reduced pain and discomfort
• Arm movement post-surgery
• Return to basic activities within 24 hours
• Driving after 24 hours

Pre-operative Care

Preparation begins with the first consultation, where you will be informed about all surgery details.

During this phase, various tests will be requested to assess your health, and the doctor will provide personalized instructions.

This phase is also important for understanding the procedure well and having realistic expectations.

Post-operative Care

The significant advantage of the R24R silicone prosthesis is the quick recovery. However, some care is necessary:

• Proper dressing and cleaning
• Taking prescribed medications
• Healthy diet
• Moving according to the medical team's instructions

How much does the R24R Silicone Prosthesis cost?

When discussing plastic surgery costs, it is important to remember that choosing a professional should be based on factors other than just financial ones.

Like choosing a car involves considering quality, beauty, comfort, and safety in addition to price, in your plastic surgery, trust in the professional, quality of the final result, and your safety should be priorities.

The truth is the final procedure cost can vary depending on various factors, such as the region where the procedure will be performed, the plastic surgeon's qualifications, the type of anesthesia, hospitalization time, and the complexity of the patient's case.

Therefore, only after a personalized consultation is it possible to define the budget for your surgery.

Results of the R24R Silicone Prosthesis

At Arte Clínica, we aim to use the most modern artistic differentiators in our procedures, intending to leave the smallest possible scars and position them in the natural contours of the breast.

In the case of the R24R silicone prosthesis, the scar is about 3 to 5 cm under the breasts.

The prosthesis is placed below the muscle, providing contour and giving a marked cleavage, suitable volume for your body, and an elegant and beautiful breast, as most women dream of.

It's important to highlight that maintaining the results requires awareness and the practice of healthy lifestyle habits, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise.
