Breast Reduction and Pain Pumps?

Dear Lyndsay, Thank you for your question

On average breast reduction is not a painful procedure and oral analgesia is usually sufficient. Patients experience limitation of the movements of the arms for a few days. Therefore the use of pain pumps is not very common. However I am sure that if your surgeon has advised you in this sense, he will explain you the reason beforehand.

Good luck

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Although I do use pain pumps for tummy tuck surgery, I have not found them to be necessary/helpful for patients undergoing breast reduction surgery. This operation tends to be very well tolerated by the vast majority of patients, without the use of pain pumps.

 Best wishes with your upcoming procedure.
