Do tummy tucks hurt?
A. Through the use of a new device called a “painbuster” Dr. Saunders has found that the pain from a tummy tuck can be dramatically minimized. This local anesthesia device allows for numbing in the area of the surgery for several days post-op. Couple this with a deluxe/overnight stay with one-on-one superior nursing care and most patients find recovery to be fairly easy with minimal pain. All of this is included at no additional cost to the patient. Oral pain pills may still be needed but the reduction in pain from the “painbuster” can be amazing.
