However, patients are still hesitant to undergo surgery due to the perceived fears of postsurgical drains, and postoperative pain.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To propose a standardized multimodal pain protocol for patients undergoing lipoabdominoplasty procedures that aims to improve postoperative pain control.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 80 patients operated on between July 2020 and December 2021 were evaluated in this study. Patients all underwent lipoabdominoplasty and were administered a standardized preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative pain regimen. Pain scores were measured across all patients in the immediate postoperative period, and postoperative days (PODs) 1, 7, 28, and 90.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Mean pain scores in the postanesthesia recovery unit were 0.46\/10 (+\/\u2212 0.18). Subsequent reassessment in the postop recovery suite yielded mean pain scores of 0.34 (+\/\u2212 0.15). Mean pain scores on POD1 were 1.23 (+\/\u2212 0.15) and consistent through to POD7 at 1.24 (+\/\u2212 0.11) with patients taking an average of 6.65 total Percocet 5 mg (Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., Malvern, PA) during the week. After POD7, 95% (76\/80) of patients were only taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A total of 75\/80 patients (93.75%) reported zero pain at 4 to 6 weeks after surgery (mean pain score 0.10 +\/\u2212 0.08).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
