Dr. Marshall is committed to providing the best results with the least pain possible. His noninvasive procedures, such as laser treatments, Botox injections, Juvederm injections, and facial rejuvenations, are essentially pain free. For other procedures, he is highly skilled at minimizing pain with local anesthetic (such as lidocaine, similar to Novocain), which is delivered with injections and/or creams that are applied directly onto the skin. In the operating room, Dr. Marshall uses injectable local anesthetic to minimize pain after surgery. Patients then use a prescription pain medicine for about two days. After that, many patients do well with an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Tylenol.

Some insurance companies cover procedures that can be considered both reconstructive and cosmetic. A common example is breast reduction surgery. This is often done to improve neck pain or strain, upper back pain and shoulder pain in women with large, pendulous breasts. The reconstructive part of the procedure involves relieving the pain by reducing the weight of the breasts. The cosmetic part of the procedure involves lifting the breasts, reshaping them, and possibly reducing the size of the nipple and areola. Dr. Marshall’s team at Reveal Aesthetic Surgery will discuss these options with you, and if applicable, will obtain insurance prior authorization.
