State-of-the-Art Techniques
State-of-the-Art advancements and techniques in plastic surgery.
Dr. Guerra believes in staying at the forefront of medicine and surgery, which allows him to provide for patients the most advanced and best care possible. New techniques and devices are developed regularly that can enhance the experience for all patients requesting elective plastic surgery. While the vast majority of techniques used by Dr. Guerra are well established, "tried and true" techniques, he makes new and valuable technological improvements available for all his patients.
On-Q Pain Buster® pump.
A recent advance has been the use of On-Q Pain Buster® pumps and the Patient Controlled Analgesia Pumps, which provide patients with significantly improved pain control beginning immediately after surgery. The pain pump is a popular option for tummy tucks, body lifts, thigh lifts and breast enlargement surgery.
Dermabond® Topical Skin Adhesive.
Another technique used by Dr. Guerra includes the use of Dermabond®, a topical skin adhesive which improves skin closure. The sterile skin adhesive is applied to the incision at the end of surgery and as it dries it forms a strong and flexible bond that immediately seals your incision from the outside world. Dermabond® allows patients to have a closed incision without the use of external stitches, often times, improving patient comfort and cosmetic results.
INSORB® skin closure device.
Dr. Guerra also regularly utilizes the INSORB® skin closure device, which received the Wall Street Journal's 2006 Technology Innovation Award, and is used to rapidly and efficiently close skin incisions. Incisions closed with this revolutionary device demonstrate a lower risk of infection and less inflammation which results in minimal scarring and better cosmetic results while reducing the time a patient spends under anesthesia.
