ON-Q Pain Relief

The ON-Q System controls pain after surgery while you are at home

Dr. Hynes is one of a few Plastic Surgeons in the Kansas City area that uses the ON-Q PAIN RELIEF SYSTEM for post-operative pain relief. It is used for all of his Breast Augmentation  and Tummy Tuck patients. It is a unique and valuable pain relief system for the patient as it works automatically to numb the pain at the site of the surgery. It starts the moment the surgery is completed. The patient wears it home and continues to use it for approximately the next five days. It does not use narcotics so it keeps your head clear while it controls the pain. The patients recover faster and more comfortably returning to their normal activities sooner. Dr. Hynes’ patients report they are “thrilled with it.”  Dr. Hynes will show you a sample of the system during your private consultation.

What is ON-Q?

ON-Q is put in place by Dr. Hynes and provides continuous pain relief in the first days after surgery.

ON-Q is a small, high-tech balloon that holds local anesthetic, a pain-numbing medication. It delivers the anesthetic through a small specially designed tube directly into the surgical incision site. The medication is delivered continuously and slowly for up to five days after surgery.

Similar to your dentist injecting Novocain into your mouth to create a numbing effect, ON-Q soaks the surgical site to create the same effect. Because ON-Q directs the medication only into the area that you have pain, the rest of your body stays in its normal, comfortable state.

The result? Your pain is relieved and you avoid the nausea, breathing problems, drowsiness, grogginess, constipation and sleepiness, all of which are side effects of narcotic painkillers.

Feel better faster with ON-Q. Less pain, more smiles.
