The 24 Hour Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation

The 24 Hour Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation

By Grace Gold

Cinderella's fairy godmother may have transformed her with the instant wave of a wand, but today's cosmetic surgeons are pulling out all the tricks to come as close to that dream as possible, by reducing recovery times from minimal to nil.

The latest attempt? A rapid recovery breast augmentation method that some plastic surgeons are aggressively marketing, which claims you can return to work or leisure within just 24 hours -- a far cry from the typical seven to 10 day recovery most breast augmentations require.

While cosmetic surgery has gradually become more affordable and accessible to the working class, one challenge continues to stand in the way: not many are able to take the time off from work needed to fully recover from a procedure like a breast augmentation. And surgeons are increasingly offering options with this consideration in mind.

But does rapid really work? And more importantly, is it even safe?

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ashkan Ghavami is one of the doctors offering the rapid recovery method. A press release blast from Ghavami, touting "new boobs in a flash" recently found its way into my inbox. "The recovery is so painless that patients are even encouraged to take a shower the same days as their surgery, raise their arms, blow dry their hair, and even go out to dinner or a movie to celebrate! Many return to work the next day, or go out shopping!"

Having had a breast augmentation (you can view my before and after photos here), the prospect of lifting my arms above my head, showering and returning to work within 24 hours -- a bold claim made by this method of surgery -- actually made me shudder at the thought.

You see, in the days following my own breast augmentation, my elbows wanted to stay firmly planted to my sides. Raising my hands to suds up my hair would've seemed a Herculean task -- not to mention wielding a heavy blowdryer to style. And the only work I wanted to do was lift the remote control.

I had interviewed Ghavami on his intriguing and rather unique ethnic rhinoplasty procedure, so I knew the California surgeon wasn't opposed to riding the rails of controversy.

Ghavami says his method is based on the teachings of Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. John Tebbetts, who mapped out the common location of blood vessels in the breast, and figured out the least traumatic way to create a breast pocket for the implant. Tebbetts claims this controls any bleeding by not allowing it to occur in the first place.

"The ultimate key is that there is very little trauma and bleeding, therefore less pain and a quicker recovery," Ghavami tells StyleList.

The method also decreases the time it takes to do a breast augmentation from an average of one to two hours down to 30 minutes, claims Ghavami.

Yet immediate past president of The American Society Of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), Dr. Michael F. McGuire, says that a purported short surgery can be a red warning flag.

"Doing a breast augmentation in 30 minutes isn't necessarily a good thing. My main concern is that it could expose a patient to greater complication risks. You also can't get around the fact that it is a surgery, done under anesthesia, and the human body needs sufficient time to heal. Risks arise when you try to rush things just for the sake of saying you do it within a certain frame," says McGuire.

Even though the time and turnaround is what is most visually marketed in the method, Ghavami claims it's not his priority.

"Dr. McGuire is correct, but the goal here is not simply to be quick. Since the dissection is precise and there are no wasted maneuvers, and there is less trauma, then as a result, there is less anesthesia and surgical time," says Ghavami.

When questioning more experts on the time it takes to do a skilled breast augmentation, I encountered two conflicting schools of thought. One side argued that you need more time to do things correctly, and properly assess the surgical site, while producing an artistically attractive result that is unique to the patient. The other argued that if you know what you're doing, you can go in with a laser-like eye, and accomplish the mission in much less time.

Another point of contention is the whole showering issue. While recovery methods can vary, most breast augmentation patients aren't allowed to shower from a couple to a few days post-surgery. "It's a fact of human healing that a skin incision on the body takes about 48 hours to seal," says Wayne, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Parham A. Ganchi. "Taking a shower before this has happened could result in an infection."

After all, it's the presence of water and a moist environment that invites most infections to take root.

I personally left fine bandages called steri-strips on my incisions for weeks after my surgery, to guard against infection and allow the faint lines to heal into the seamlessly invisible marks they are today. And having seen photos of the raised and pinkish scars that weren't handled properly during healing, I can appreciate the time it takes for the body to do its thing. Yet Ghavami says he takes this all into consideration when telling patients that they can shower almost immediately following surgery.

"A glue that is waterproof is used on the incision, and it is covered with surgical dressings, which do not allow water to enter the wound. Not all shower the same day, but they can if they like, and this helps in recovery. I have not had a single infection using this technique thus far. If a breast lift is done at the same time, then the recovery and showering instructions are very different," says Ghavami, of the more involved procedure that uses multiple incision points.

The most common risk of a breast augmentation is the chance of hematoma, or bleeding. Bleeding can vary in degree, from a small instance that can be drained without much trouble, to rapidly escalating situations that could require a second surgery, and even the removal of implants.

Fortunately, if you've chosen a qualified and skilled plastic surgeon, and follow your healing instructions, you can dramatically decrease any risk of bleeding. But herein lies the most serious criticism of the rapid recovery method.

"The vast majority of patients who develop bleeding after breast augmentation do so in the first 24 hours," explains Ganchi. "Wouldn't it make sense to avoid any stimulation of the muscle, and therefore the blood vessels, until they have sealed? This only requires relaxing for a few days. I don't think this is too much to ask to prevent bleeding," says Ganchi.

The rapid recovery method seems to fly right in the face of this, encouraging patients to raise their arms, shower and move about at a regular pace, immediately following surgery. Ghavami claims hematoma isn't a heightened concerned, as the more precise methodology "pre-emptively controls bleeding."

And according to a helpful chart by Tebbetts that aims to distinguish between a "real" 24 hour recovery and an unskilled surgeon who is merely riding a wave of hype, the ability to be active and move about freely on the same day as your breast augmentation is crucial to his method's mode of recovery.

(As a side note, the chart claims that the authentic version is called '24 Hour Recovery,' while the buzzword "Rapid Recovery" is used by surgeons who are just capitalizing on the trend. I personally think it's a matter of semantics, as fully qualified surgeons I spoke with used both phrases interchangeably.)

Experts also tell me that the 24 hour recovery method hinges upon choosing a moderate sized implant, which works with the mechanics of how this procedure heals. Granted, 'moderate' is a size that can vary in opinion from person to person, but let's just say that Pamela Anderson's version doesn't qualify.

While not openly touting a rapid recovery method, many of today's most skilled plastic surgeons combine elements of the method with more traditional methods of healing, for what they say is the ultimate combination of a low-risk and easy recovery surgery.

For example, traditional breast augmentation created the space, or pocket, for the implant by cutting through muscle. Many surgeons today use a heat method called cautery, to dissolve through tissue without causing the same amount of trauma and risk of bleeding. While this is a trademark of the rapid recovery breast augmentation, it's also an increasingly popular strategy used by surgeons performing a more traditional style of augmentation.

As a breast augmentation patient and now adviser to other women who are considering the procedure, I can tell you that our greatest fear is of something going wrong. Sure, a quick no-frills way to get ample, perky cleavage sounds like a dream, but nearly no woman wants to do it at any kind of significant risk to her health.

If you're considering a plastic surgeon who uses the rapid recovery technique, do your homework to make sure you're getting the real deal. Make sure the doctor is board-certified by the American Board Of Plastic Surgery, which is recognized by the medical community as the most prestigious credential.

And from surgical plan to any risks like bleeding and infection, make sure your doctor addresses each point with expertise and detailed explanations that can be backed up by independent studies they're so familiar with, they can conversationally refer to them. You also need to feel a genuine sense of care from the surgeon.

Because unlike Cinderella, the choices you make as an empowered patient place your destiny into your own hands.

In 2011, he was listed by the Watkins Review as one of the 100 most spiritually influential people in the world.He was described by his devotees as a human incarnation of Shiridi Sai Baba, spiritual saint and miracle worker. The apparent materialising of vibhuti (holy ash) and other small objects such as rings, necklaces and watches by Baba has been a source of both fame and controversy – skeptics consider these simple conjuring tricks while devotees consider them as signs of divinity. Sathya Sai Baba claimed to be the reincarnation of the spiritual guru, Sai Baba of Shirdi, whose teachings were an eclectic blend of Hindu and Muslim beliefs.

What do you do if you're unhappy with plastic surgery results?

What to do if you're unhappy with plastic surgery results
By Dr. Murray Feingold

An increasing number of people are undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in an effort to improve their appearance. These procedures can be painful and expensive, and they are usually not paid for by insurance.

Do patients have any recourse if they think the results are not what they expected or not what was promised?

Patients can file a malpractice lawsuit if the physician made medical errors, but what can be done if the patient just doesn’t like the results?

One of the difficulties is beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; thus, there may be differing opinions concerning whether or not the results are good or bad. The plastic surgeon may think the results are technically excellent. However, the patient isn't that interested in how difficult the procedure was but how good the final product looks.

A recent article discussed the best ways to determine the outcomes of cosmetic plastic surgery. Questionnaires were developed to obtain the views of the patients who underwent various procedures.

It was determined that the most accurate way to determine the outcome requires input from both patients and physicians. But is it always that difficult to determine if the results are good or bad?

For example, Mrs. Jones wants to get rid of her many wrinkles. A photograph of the wrinkles are taken before and after the procedure. Although she was told she would have about an 80 percent improvement, unfortunately, there was only about a 25 percent improvement.

Should she have to pay for surgery that did not accomplish what she not only anticipated but was also told would take place?

The doctor agrees more needs to be done. Should the patient have to pay for the second procedure? And what about the discomfort the patient experienced and the time involved?

Frequently, in this situation, the patient pays for the first procedure but pays less for the second procedure. Is this fair? It doesn't sound right to me.

It is important that, prior to surgery, the doctor explains in great detail what can and cannot be accomplished. Also, the doctor should discuss with the patient the plan if the patient's realistic expectations are not met.

But when it comes to wrinkles, you don't need any fancy scientific studies to determine that too many wrinkles are still there after surgery.

Dr. Murray Feingold is the physician in chief of The Feingold Center for Children, medical editor of WBZ-TV and WBZ radio, and president of the Genesis Fund. The Genesis Fund is a nonprofit organization that funds the care of children born with birth defects, mental retardation and genetic diseases.

More women turning to acupuncture before cosmetic surgery

With botox getting some bad press this week that users may have trouble reading other people's emotions, it's one more reason some women are looking for alternatives, including one approach that's been around for centuries.

Kelli Hodge just turned 40 and is hoping that the age-old art of acupuncture will take a few years off her face. 

"What we're trying to do is create a micro trauma under the skin to take advantage of the body's natural healing process," explained acupuncturist Rick Bernard.

Bernard says that the treatment stimulates collagen production which helps fill in wrinkles, and there's another benefit.

"It wakes the nerve up and gives you a natural lifting effect," he said.

It can also help minimize vertical lines between the eyes.

"I think it's definitely taken off five years," said Nicki Banucci who recently got cosmetic acupuncture. "My laugh lines improved completely."

Most people need about ten sessions at about $100 dollars each. Kelli finds the treatment surprisingly relaxing.

"It's just a slight pinch," she said. "The needle goes in and the pinch goes away once the needle is in."

Occasionally the client gets a little bruising, and while Kelli may not get the same dramatic and quick results of botox, she says she'd much rather take this chemical free approach to beauty. After three treatments, she saw results.

"I think the wrinkles diminished and these deep set lines diminished as well," Kelli said. 

Best of all, she says she still looks like herself, only younger

Results can last up 18 months, which can be extended with maintenance treatments.

Look for a practitioner who specializes in cosmetic acupuncture or facial rejuvenation acupuncture.

How 'Normal' Is Your Belly Button?

How Normal Is Your Navel? Belly Button Facts and Figures You Probably Didn't Know

Do you have an innie or outie? How germy is your belly button? Do you get belly button lint? We investigated this oft-overlooked body part and found out everything you need to know. How does your navel compare?

By Amy Capetta

Talk about navel-gazing: Since February, a group of scientists at North Carolina State University has been studying the germs that inhabit our belly buttons as part of a study called the Belly Button Biodiversity project.

Sounds like an odd research project, but the belly button is the “ideal location” to study germs, says Jiri Hulcr, PhD, a postdoctoral research assistant who is heading the project.

“We’re trying to educate the public about the role bacteria play in our world,” says Dr. Hulcr. “Bacteria are always present on our skin and in our bodies. In fact, there are many, many more bacterial cells on and in our bodies than actual human cells.” (Each person carries about 100 trillion microbes; the human body contains about 10 trillion cells).

Unlike such body parts as the nose or armpits, the navel doesn’t secrete anything. Also, since most people tend to ignore their belly buttons — after all, you don’t scrub or exfoliate it like you do your face — navel bacteria tend to be untouched. “Believe it or not, the belly button serves as a good representation of the types of bacteria found on the body,” Hulcr says.

Good Germs and Bad Germs

The scientists so far have collected nearly 500 samples from belly buttons on cotton swabs, and posted magnified images of each person’s microbes on their Wildlife of Your Body Web site. You don’t need to be a biologist to notice that the cultures vary greatly from person to person.

So what types of bacteria inhabit our belly buttons? “All kinds!” says Hulcr, although his team has mostly found two common skin bacteria, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, which he says are, for the most part, “friendly.”

“We absolutely need bacteria in order to survive,” he says. “It’s like asking an animal who lives in a forest if he needs the trees. The presence of bacteria is not harmful — it’s only under certain conditions when these bacteria can be potentially unhealthy, like if someone has lowered immunity or a skin injury, like a sunburn.”

The takeaway: Don’t be freaked out by your belly button germs.

More Belly Button Facts

We asked Hulcr and other experts to tell us everything you never knew about your navel. Here, the top seven fascinating finds:

1. Innies dominate. Hulcr’s team asked study participants whether they had “innies” or “outies.” Only 4 percent of those studied said they had outie-shaped belly buttons.
2. You can’t control whether you get an innie or outie. Technically considered a scar, belly buttons mark the connection of a mother’s umbilical cord to her fetus in the womb. “The cord serves as the unborn baby’s lifeline, providing her with vital food and oxygen and removing waste products like carbon dioxide,” says Karen Marie Jaffe, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist affiliated with the University Hospitals of Cleveland. The cord is clamped immediately after birth and the remnant eventually falls off to unveil the belly button.
   The ultimate shape of the belly button depends on a number of factors, according to Indianapolis plastic surgeon Barry Eppley, MD, including how the scar attaches to underlying muscles, the looseness of surrounding skin, the fat under the skin, and how flat or protruding your belly is. “Belly buttons vary greatly in their size and shape,” he says on his blog, Explore Plastic Surgery.
3. Your belly button shape can change — under one special circumstance, pregnancy. “The expansion of the abdomen can cause some “innie” belly buttons to pop out and become outies, but most often, there is not much change in the structure itself,” says Dr. Jaffe. And after birth, the belly button often retracts to its former shape.
4. Hate your belly button? There’s surgery for that. Yes, people really do get elective plastic surgery to change the appearance of their belly button – it's called umbilicoplasty, according to Richard Chaffoo, MD, president of the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society and chief of plastic surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital, in Encinitas, Calif. “The popularity of low-rise jeans and midriff tops has lead to an enormous increase in the number of requests for belly button revision surgery in the past few years,” Dr. Chaffoo says.
   According to the most recent data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 8,000 umbilicoplasty procedures were performed between 2002 and 2005; 92 percent in women. Most people have the surgery to transform “outies” to “innies.”
5. There is an “ideal” belly button shape. According to University of Missouri researchers who showed pictures of various belly buttons to a group of men and women, a small, vertical, T-shaped navel with a little flap of overlying skin was deemed most attractive.
   Having an appealing belly button may make you a more attractive mate, according to Finnish scientist Aki Sinkkone, who published his hypothesis in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in 2009.
6. Certain people are more prone to belly button lint than others. You’re more likely to have belly button lint if you’re male, older, hairy, and have an “innie”-shaped belly button, according to Australian researcher Karl Kruszelnicki, who surveyed nearly 5,000 people about their belly button lint. The lint is a mixture of pieces of clothing fiber that get trapped in your belly button and sweat, skin cells, and bacteria.
   As for smelly belly buttons, well, blame the abundance of bacteria growing in that confined space. “The cultures we analyzed eventually smelled like dirty socks!” says Hulcr.
7. Belly button, meet soap. Hulcr’s team reports that most people say they don’t wash their belly buttons very often. So what is proper belly button hygiene? “It’s not necessary to scrub it — just taking a shower is good enough,” he says.
8. Pause before you pierce. Belly button piercings take longer to heal (up to nine months) than other piercing sites (ear and eyebrow piercings heal in six to eight weeks), according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. The long healing time can make the site vulnerable to infections; wearing tight clothing can increase the risk. The AAFP says getting pierced with a barbell instead of a ring can help reduce irritation and scarring (you can switch to a ring once the site has fully healed).

Positively Shakespearean Cosmetic Surgery

Positively Shakespearean Cosmetic Surgery

Going under the knife to look like a celebrity is well known cosmetic surgery trend. But what about trying to look like a long dead figure, as is the case with Chinese author Zhang Yiyi? According to online reports, the popular author wants to look like playwright William Shakespeare.

The plan does not come cheap, as he will spend over $150,000. It will reportedly involve having 10 procedures done in 10 months. Zhang explained his plans by saying, “Life is a process of striving to become a better person. I think the surgeries are worth the money.” Interestingly enough,l the surgeon slated to perform the procedures feels that Zhang’s face already has a similar structure to the late bard’s. He feels that this will makes the process easier.
