BREAST AUGMENTATION PAIN RELIEF
May 28, 2008
The breast augmentation post-op pain relief research work done by Dr. Jabs and Dr. Richards has just been accepted for publication in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. This is our national plastic surgery aesthetic publication that will be read by thousands of plastic surgeons in the United States and abroad and is the official journal of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Our research helped us to develop a technique that provides post-op pain relief with breast augmentation surgery not previously achievable. It involves a meticulous implant pocket dissection method avoiding the perichondrial nerves, injection of tumescent fluid (normally used for liposuction pain relief) into the surrounding breast tissue, and direct injection of a long acting anesthetic into the pectoralis muscle. Patients with this approach had significantly less pain scores after surgery.
My last three breast augmentation patients had an initial recovery room pain score of 0 out of 10! At Cosmetic Surgery Associates we take pride in providing the highest quality of safety and comfort to our patients.

During 2007, it has been ranked that Botox and liposuction are the most popular surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures done for the entire year. The released statistics state that 456,828 liposuctions and over 2.7 million Botox procedures were done. We should have a lot of beautiful people walking about right now . That is more than I would have ever thought. Imagine all the people you would never think that have gotten some kind of plastic surgery done.
Very interesting facts!
