Since 1994, the author has used methocarbamol as an adjunct for pain management in patients undergoing subpectoral breast implant surgery. According to his observations, methocarbamol results in a decrease in postoperative pain and use of intravenous narcotics, as well as significant improvement in postoperative functioning.
