Enhanced Postoperative Recovery Protocols

Lawton Plastic Surgery Taps JOURNAVX for Psotrecovery

Lawton Plastic Surgery, under the leadership of Yale-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Lawton, has incorporated JOURNAVX into its postoperative recovery protocols. This move marks a significant departure from traditional pain management approaches for patients undergoing cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks, breast augmentations, lifts, reductions, implant revisions, liposuction, and combined mommy makeovers.

JOURNAVX represents the first approved medication in a novel non-opioid drug class. It operates through a distinct mechanism that selectively targets pain-signalling sodium channels in the peripheral nervous system rather than activating opioid receptors.

Dr. Lawton has integrated this medication into a comprehensive multimodal postoperative recovery protocol for his higher-volume surgical cases. Early clinical observations indicate that patients experience excellent postoperative comfort, require fewer rescue narcotic medications than historically expected, and demonstrate smoother early recovery with a more rapid return to normal postoperative milestones.
