Breast Augmentation Using Novel Method of Jet Hydro Dissection Effects on Postoperative Pain

ERBEjet Breast augmentation is a novel method of dissection of the subpectoral pocket. Study
is designed to differentiate parameters of pain between randomized laterality using no touch
technique. THIS IS NOT A FREE STUDY. Patients are required to pay the initial cost of surgery
but will receive a refund of a partial payment. Patients must undergo evaluation at
consultation and surgical quote is provided.

Breast augmentation in the subpectoral position has classically been associated with
postoperative pain and discomfort within the first two weeks after the operation. Minimizing
this pain and discomfort and ability to return to normal function soon after the operation
has been the goal of numerous interventions. Minimal injury no touch dissection techniques
have proven results regarding morbidity. ERBEjet is a novel dissection using a jet of local
anesthetic infused saline fluid with a built in coagulation function used for dissection of
soft tissues. The study is designed to randomly perform ERBEjet Breast augmentation operation
unilaterally on breast augmentation and mastopexy augmentation patients undergoing
traditional sub pectoral dissection technique on the contralateral side. Patient's record
pain scores at regular intervals in the postoperative period. Physical examination performed
by blinded practitioners assess discomfort and tenderness scores within the two weeks after
the operation.
