Abstract.
Submuscular placement of breast implants produces significant postoperative pain and discomfort. The standard use of narcotics alone does not optimize pain reduction. Methocarbamol was used intraoperatively and postoperatively in 62 patients undergoing manipulation of the pectoralis major associated with breast implant surgery. Significant pain relief was achieved.
