What are recommendations for pain medication after Liposuction and Fat Transfer?

Question

William T. Stoeckel, MD · Answer

Every surgeon is going to have their own preference for medications to be used after surgery. But I give my patients Percocet to be used for the first 4-5 days. After that, most patients only need some ibuprofen or advil. Expect to be sore for about 2-3 weeks, but you shouldn't need pain medication for that much time.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

There are many pain medications that may be appropriate, and your surgeon should prescribe those for you.Find

a  board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and Brazilian buttlift
 procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
