Sculpting your breasts and slimming your abdomen without the fear of severe pain has now become easier than ever before.  The synthesis of new technological breakthroughs in both cosmetic surgery and pain management has provided physicians with surgical pain pumps - revolutionary tools for minimizing post-operative pain and maximizing the plastic surgery experience.

Renowned Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Howard is excited about the implementation of these new pain pumps for minimizing post-operative pain relief in breast and abdominal plastic surgery procedures and now offers the instruments in most breast augmentation and abdominoplasty surgeries.

“I’ve noticed a significant decrease in the amount of pain medication use after surgery in addition to increased patient satisfaction,” Dr. Howard reports.  “The new pain pumps have incalculable benefits for patients.”

The pumps are placed directly in the areas of surgery and deliver a constant infusion of anesthetic medication where it is most needed.  They normally last anywhere from 3 to 5 days, offering tremendous pain relief during the immediate post-operative period when the pain is typically most severe.  “I have been able to get these pumps on formulary at many of the hospitals where I practice,” he notes.  “Patient satisfaction is extraordinarily high.”

Dr. Howard obtained his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine, in New York, where he graduated with honors. He initially completed a six-year residency in Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.  He subsequently completed a full residency in Plastic Surgery, also at the highly esteemed University of Texas Southwestern.  He is Board Certified in both Plastic Surgery and Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery, one of a limited number of physicians accomplishing this combination.

Dr. Howard is currently the Chief of Plastic Surgery at North Fulton Regional Hospital. Dr. Howard is in private practice in North Fulton County, in the metropolitan Atlanta area, where he holds clinical privileges at multiple medical facilities.
