Baltimore Plastic Surgeon Dr. Adam Basner Integrates EXPAREL Pain Relief into Tummy Tuck Surgery

    BALTIMORE, MD, April 21, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Adam Basner provides EXPAREL pain relief medication as part of his abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures in his Baltimore surgery practice. EXPAREL is a non-narcotic local analgesic that has been shown to reduce the need for a patient to use narcotics after surgery.

"EXPAREL provides a great benefit for our patients in the first few days following a tummy tuck," said Dr. Adam Basner, of The Plastic Surgery Center of Maryland. "It's a great way to provide pain relief before the patient even wakes up from tummy tuck surgery, and its slow release over time continues to ease pain for as long as 72 hours after surgery."

EXPAREL works by numbing the surgical area with an ingredient known as bupivacaine. Dr. Basner injects the medication directly into the tummy tuck treatment area during surgery, so it will begin working before you are completely conscious. The active pain-relieving ingredient in EXPAREL is slowly released over time, which is why it continues working for days after surgery. Certain clinical trial findings showed some patients did not require any narcotics because of the effective relief provided with EXPAREL.

Dr. Basner provides natural-looking results to patients from all over the Baltimore area, including Towson, Columbia and Owings Mills. He is extensively trained and experienced in a wide array of cosmetic, restorative and non-surgical treatments, and has been providing these procedures for nearly two decades.
