Study Summary

The main question this randomized control trial aims to answer is: • Is the use of intraoperative subpectoral bupivacaine associated with decreased post-operative pain in adolescent patients who undergo bilateral reduction mammaplasty Participants will be randomized into the study group that intraoperatively receives 30cc of subpectoral bupivacaine injections or into the control group that intraoperatively receives 30cc of injectable saline subpectorally. All participants will keep a pain log and pain medication log at home for the first week following surgery. Researchers will compare to see if patients who receive subpectoral bupivacaine have lower pain scores in the PACU, and lower use of narcotics post-operatively when compared to the control group who receive injectable saline.

Primary Outcome

Post-operative pain score will be patient reported on a rating scale of 1-10. This will be recorded by the PACU nurse upon admission and upon discharge from the PACU. Patients will subsequently record a daily pain score in a home log daily until their 1 week follow-up visit. Scores will be recorded using the home log provided by the patient. We will also utilize chart review to record PACU pain score from the immediate post-operative time period.
