About the Episode
Any procedure can be associated with unwanted discomfort or pain. One of the standard tools for minimizing that has been what are called opioids, which are generally quite effective. But as you no doubt are aware, opioids can cause some unintended problems, most notably addiction-potential.
These potential problems have prompted exploration into the possibility of alternatives. And that exploration has been quite fruitful!
In this episode, we speak with a long-practicing plastic surgeon, Dr. Fouad Samaha, who shares his good ideas about effective pain control in plastic surgery, and alternatives to opioids.
