Answer: What alternatives are there for pain management following a tummy tuck if I’m allergic to Morphine? Thank you for sharing your question and best wishes on your upcoming surgery. There are a number of different medication options that exist and trial and error may be required to find one that works for you without eliciting any negative side-effects. Exparel will prove beneficial to you for the first few days and latex alternatives do exist for all major aspects of surgery. Hope this helps.

Answer: Pain Management Following A #Tummytuck Exparel works well to minimize your abdominal discomfort following your #abdominoplasty procedure. Your #plasticsurgeon should review all of your allergies with you prior to your surgery and prescribe you medications that will suit you best. I typically prescribe a non-narcotic pain management protocol because I find that patients have less sensitivities and side effects. Latex is a non-issue these days. Every hospital and/or surgery center will have latex-free supplies to use in your case. Wishing you the very best.
