The Benefits of Pre-surgical Nerve Blocks

At Pearl Plastic Surgery, we are committed to providing not just exceptional results, but also a smooth and comfortable surgical experience. One of the important features included in the total cost of your procedure is the use of presurgical nerve blocks, performed by our MD anesthesiologist, Dr. Daniel Albershardt. These nerve blocks are a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your recovery by reducing pain and limiting the need for post-operative pain medications.

Presurgical nerve blocks work by temporarily numbing specific nerves before surgery begins, helping to prevent pain signals from ever reaching the brain. This proactive approach means patients often wake up with far less discomfort and are able to enjoy a smoother recovery. Because the nerve block is administered before any pain can develop, it’s much more effective than attempting to manage pain after it has already set in.

One of the standout benefits of nerve blocks is their ability to minimize the reliance on oral pain medications. While we do provide pain prescriptions as part of our comprehensive aftercare, the goal is always to reduce the need for them whenever possible. This can lead to fewer side effects, such as nausea or grogginess, and helps patients feel more comfortable and in control during their recovery process. For patients who require additional relief, repeat nerve blocks are an option, allowing us to tailor care to your specific needs.

At Pearl Plastic Surgery, we understand that the journey to achieving your aesthetic goals is about more than just the final results. It’s about the entire experience—from your first consultation to the day you reveal your transformation. By including presurgical nerve blocks in our care, we demonstrate our commitment to your comfort, safety, and satisfaction every step of the way. Our team believes that cosmetic surgery should be a positive and empowering journey, and we’re here to support you through it all.

If you have questions about nerve blocks or any aspect of your procedure, our team is here to provide answers and guidance. Your comfort is our priority, and we’re proud to offer advanced techniques like presurgical nerve blocks to ensure the best possible surgical experience.
