Use of an anesthetic cream before infiltration with local anesthesia in aesthetic surgery.

The use of local anesthesia in aesthetic surgery must be provided to the patient based on its risk/benefit ratio, effective control of postoperative pain, and lower incidence of postoperative disorders. The use of a new anesthetic cream before infiltration with a local anesthetic may cause reduction or elimination of the pain provoked by the needle during the infiltration, increasing the compliance of local anesthesia. Here we describe the modalities and the advantages of using anesthetic cream.
