PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 22, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania cosmetic surgeon Ted Eisenberg, DO, FACOS, FAACS, authored an article entitled "Breast Augmentation: Minimizing Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV), Maximizing Patient Satisfaction," which was published in the December 2008 issue of The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery.
The article describes the effectiveness of a particular protocol of medications and anesthetics used before, during and after breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Eisenberg developed this regimen - which affects multiple pathways and nausea receptor sites -- in conjunction with the Nazareth Hospital Anesthesia Department over the past 10 years with his 4000 breast enhancement patients.
Approximately 73% of patients reported no nausea and vomiting from the day of surgery on. On average, the remaining 27% reported some PONV ("3" on a scale of 0-10). These are dramatic results compared with reported statistics that the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in women getting breast augmentation under general anesthesia is as high as 60 to 80 percent.
In Oct. 2007, Dr. Eisenberg presented this paper at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery's World Congress in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. An abstract of the article can be found on his cosmetic breast surgery website located at http://www.lookingnatural.com. The website features information about breast implants and includes a section of before and after pictures from some of Dr. Eisenberg's breast augmentation patients. Dr. Eisenberg also performs breast lift, breast lift with augmentation, breast reduction and breast asymmetry correction.
Dr. Eisenberg has over twenty years of experience with cosmetic breast surgery and is double board-certified in General Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Eisenberg believes in the highest level of personal care and comfort. He is committed to helping women look natural, feel wonderful and have the body they've dreamed of.
