Breast Surgery Recovery AdviceFrom Dr. LoftusThere are a number of things that Dr. Loftus recommends to reduce pain, swelling, and nausea and speed your breast surgery recovery.Reducing Pain and Swelling:Breast implant placement under the muscle can either be somewhat painful with an unpleasant breast surgery recovery period, or it can be relatively pain-free with a much faster recovery. Dr. Loftus recommends some very important steps to increase the likelihood of less discomfort and fast recovery.
Reducing Nausea:One of the most common causes of nausea is pain. Dr. Loftus has found that taking steps to reduce pain has markedly reduced the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, even in those who are prone to it. Ask your doctor about prophylactic anti-nausea medications like metoclopramide, ondansetron, phenergan, scopalamine patches, and Emend.Dr. Loftus administers the following to her patients: decadron (an intravenous steroid which reduces nausea), Zofran (an anti-nausea medication that is so effective that it is routinely prescribed for cancer patients), Scopalamine (a medication which helps motion sickness), and Pepcid AC (this over-the-counter medication is a fabulous drug which further inhibits nausea in surgical patients). These will help with the breast surgery recovery process. In those who are particularly prone to nausea after surgery, Dr. Loftus recommends metocloprmide, phenergan, and emend. Why so many drugs? Because there are multiple potential causes of nausea following surgery, and each drug targets a different cause. If you are nauseated, it will not be evident which cause is involved. Nor will it be evident which drug will make you feel better. Dr. Loftus has found that, by optimizing anti-nausea medications, she has been able to reduce post-operative nausea to less than 2%. SummaryYour recovery from breast augmentation can be relatively fast and mostly pain-free if you and your plastic surgeon take advantage of the suggestions above. |
