Body Tite of flanks and abdomen without pain meds?

Question

I am having Body Tite Lipo performed on my abdomen and flanks in 2 weeks. It will be With local anesthesia only. I don’t have much to remove so I’m thinking it shouldn’t be too difficult. I do not take narcotics at all and I’m concerned about pain management after. Would Tylenol suffice? I have a high pain tolerance and have had a previous breast augmentation and lift with Tylenol only. Any other non narcotic pain management options?

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

BodyTite post-operative pain is akin to traditional liposuction. I will often equate the soreness with that of a vigorous work out. With regards to your specific question, Tylenol should suffice especially if you tolerated a breast augmentation (submuscular?) in the past.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Tylenol should suffice should you have pain after BodyTite, but your PS can provide a pain management prescription should you need it.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

My prorocol for Bodytite is to give a narcotic pill about 30 minutes prior to the procedure. This makes the infusion of tumescent local anesthesia easier for the patient. Postoperatively, most patients don"t need medication for pain. Tylenol should be fine. Do not take Aleve or any other anti-inflammatory medicine as this may increase bruising.

In your case, Tylenol would very likely suffice. BodyTite is performed with local tumescent anesthesia. After the treatment most people feel sore, like after a strenuous workout, but do need narcotic pain medication for pain control. -Dr. Hernandez

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure performed with tumescent anesthesia. Given your post-surgical history you should be able to get by with Tylenol for discomfort following your procedure. The vast majority of our patients do not require narcotics following this procedure.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
