Breast reconstruction surgery at the clinic of Dr. Rodrigo Bastos in Brasília, Brazil, helps women restore breast shape and volume after mastectomy or injury. This procedure uses the R24R rapid recovery technique. It allows patients to return to daily activities within 24 hours of the operation. Dr. Rodrigo Bastos is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery with over 15 years of experience.
Advanced Reconstruction Techniques
The clinic uses the Dual Plane method for implant placement. This technique places the silicone prosthesis partially under the chest muscle. It provides a natural look even when there is little breast tissue left after surgery. The surgeon makes a small incision of about 4 to 5 cm in the fold under the breast. This approach helps hide scars while allowing the doctor to reconstruct the breast shape effectively.
Technology and Safety Protocols
Safety is a priority during the reconstruction process. The clinic follows a strict 14-point safety protocol to prevent infections. Dr. Rodrigo Bastos uses Grip Plane technology to stabilize the implant. This technology keeps the prosthesis in the correct position during the healing process. The entire surgery usually takes about one hour to complete.
Rapid Recovery and Aftercare
The R24R protocol changes how patients recover from breast surgery. Unlike traditional methods, this technique does not require long periods of rest. Patients start moving their arms just 2 hours after the procedure. Most people leave the hospital within 3 or 4 hours. By the next day, patients can drive, return to work, and lift up to 15 kg. This fast return to normal life is a key benefit for active women.
