i'm interested in this procedure, but i'm allergic to all forms of codeine including hydrocodone. What pain medication will i recieve after the surgery?

[samlammd]

@NinjaRaptorAssassin typically you only feel the discomfort for the first night which i carry you through with a long-lasting injected anesthetic. i don't have a perfect answer for you but i could use darvocet.

[NinjaRaptorAssassin]

@samlammd what's darvocet?

[samlammd]

@NinjaRaptorAssassin you can google it. it is a tylenol and propoxyphene (which is non-codeine narcotic)

[NinjaRaptorAssassin]

@samlammd Okay thank you for your help

[samlammd]

@NinjaRaptorAssassin sure.

@samlammd,

just got mine done yesterday and this head wrap is gonna drive me nuts.I took a peek under and one side looks like it sticks out alot more. is this just the padding and is this normal?? will it want to stay that way if its held like that?? thanks

[samlammd]

@Pilsner6996 hi, i make it a point not to answer questions during the healing phase of another surgeon's work. it is not safe to do it or fair to the surgeon. please ask your surgeon.

best,

hey im 14 and realy considering it. my mum love my big sticky out ears but i hate them! im realy worryed about the surgery coz i saw a video of what they do ans it looks nasty. what did you feel when you got put to sleep ? did you have to stay in hospital overnight and did you have troble sleeping? please reply it would realy help.

[samlammd]

@beanyboii this patient was sedated but not put to sleep. he was done in my surgery center. he did not have trouble sleeping. however, given your age, for my center you would need to go to the hospital. beyond those basic comments, you need to speak with your parents about proceeding with a consultation, etc.

best,

sml
