Breast augmentation and abdominoplasty: postoperative management with pain pumps.

Paul, Malcolm D · Aesthet Surg J · 2005

Where this comes from

Abstract

Using pain pumps, the author has been successful in reducing postoperative pain after breast augmentation and abdominoplasty. Further, patients ambulate sooner, which reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis, and more fully expand their lungs, which averts a compromise in pulmonary function.
