As a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast and body cosmetic surgery, I understand that recovery is one of the biggest concerns for patients considering procedures like a tummy tuck or circumferential body lift. At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, my team and I are committed to providing you with not only outstanding surgical results but also a recovery experience that is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
One of the ways we achieve this is through my enhanced pain protocol, which has revolutionized the way patients recover after surgery. By combining non-narcotic peri-operative medication administration with injectable local anesthesia using Exparel, we’re able to significantly reduce post-operative pain while enhancing your overall recovery process.
Traditional post-surgical recovery often relies heavily on narcotic pain medications, which can come with unpleasant side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, constipation, and even dependency risks. While effective at managing pain, these medications can slow your recovery and limit your ability to return to normal activities.
My enhanced pain protocol takes a proactive approach to pain management. By using a specific combination of non-narcotic medications before, during, and after surgery, we can reduce inflammation and block pain signals at their source. Additionally, I utilize Exparel, a long-lasting injectable local anesthetic, during your procedure. Exparel works to provide up to 72 hours of targeted pain relief, helping to control discomfort during those critical first days of recovery.
This innovative approach to pain management offers a range of benefits that directly impact your recovery experience:
Recovery is a vital part of your surgical journey. My team and I are here to guide you every step of the way, from your initial consultation to your post-operative follow up visits. With our enhanced pain protocol, we aim to set you up for success, ensuring that your recovery is as seamless as possible.
