Pain relievers have a history that goes back to the beginning of recorded humanity. It is the nature of human beings to avoid pain; thus the need for ways to relieve the pain many people associate with all types of surgery. Pain relievers throughout history have not changed very much. According to a recent article in Psychology Today pain relievers were a major improvement when they were introduced to the market in the 1800s. According to the article 1898, marked the introduction of the acetylation of salicylic acid and morphine and produced the respective drugs, aspirin and heroin. These went on to have a huge impact on the next hundred years, with aspirin becoming the most popular legal drug in history, and heroin the most popular illegal drug in history. Needless to say, aspirin worked but the consumer liked heroin better. As the years progressed the medical community noted the addictive properties of heroin and it was eventually pulled off the market, and by1924 the manufacture and use of heroin was banned completely. Aspirin was still used however these days it is more for the purpose of medical benefits for the heart. Finding pain relief can be difficult for patients who suffer from chronic pain. Patients  who are considering cosmetic plastic surgery should know that the typical procedures performed by accredited and experienced board-certified plastic surgeons are not considered particularly painful. Most patients rating the pain would average out to what would be considered as moderate when looking at all elective plastic surgery procedures performed. Dr. Stuart Kincaid and his staff are careful to have extensive communication with their patients concerning any fears they have of pain and are committed to helping them understand what they can expect. Some procedures tend to be a little more difficult with respect to pain than others however these are usually procedures that take longer to perform and are more invasive. These procedures include facelift, abdominoplasty, and bodylifts. Breast augmentation can also be moderately painful when implants are placed behind the muscle. Dr. Stuart Kincaid assures patients that they will be given prescription strength pain medication to help manage the pain and since patients recover from cosmetic plastic surgery relatively quickly, most patients utilize the pain medication for a very short period of time. Dr. Stuart Kincaid maintains an excellent reputation by maintaining excellent communication with his patients. By committing to this standard it helps to assure that patients are not experiencing unnecessary and undue pain and discomfort.
