I have been on Suboxone for 6 years. My doctor said it will be ok but I am truly freaking out about going under anesthesia and how to deal with pain during post op. Doctor did recommend exparel but that last only three days.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear thanavady89, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Medication You will need medication for pain, both narcotic and also nonnarcotic like Tordol or low narcotic like Trammadol. Don't try to do this without pain medication. Your surgeon can also use a pain pump and catheter to give a low dose of local anesthetic continually for the first couple of days.
