Tummy Tuck Patient Information -
Options for Pain Control

OPTIONS FOR PAIN CONTROL: Dr. Zevon prescribes oral pain medication for abdominoplasty patients. We recommend taking the oral pain medication before going to bed the first night after your surgery. At this time, you are in a transitional period when your surgery anesthesia is wearing off and the post-surgery discomfort is increasing. It's easier to be comfortable if you don't allow yourself to experience too much pain-that is, if you feel significant pain increasing, take the pain medication before your pain is "out of control". We have a new pain control option available for patients having abdominoplasty. This option, called a "pain pump", consists of a source of non-narcotic local anesthesia Dr. Zevon can insert at the end of your abdominoplasty surgery. The pain pump will produce a steady flow of medication during the first week after your abdominoplasty surgery. If you think you may be interested in the pain pump, tell Dr. Zevon at your pre-op visit so he will have it available for use during your tummy tuck surgery. Dr. Zevon will remove it 1 week after surgery.
