dc.description.abstractPhotobiomodulation (PBM) is an emerging medical technology with therapeutic effects that reduce or inhibit inflammatory mediators and cytokines, decreasing pain and local edema. However, the number of papers reporting the application of PBM in the post-surgical period is still scarce. This case report aims to evaluate the action of PBM applied after bilateral mastectomy with free nipple grafts regarding collateral effects such as pain, edema and hematoma. Patients underwent breast surgery with free nipples grafts. PBM sessions were applied 5, 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery using a diode laser Platinum 4 equipment with four wavelengths (650, 810, 915 and 980 nm). Total energy applied was 1080 Joules distributed in six minutes of laser application over lymph node areas and the suture region. Both patients (A and B) related pain relief after PBM sessions (5, 24, 48 and 72 hours) after surgery. Also nipple sensitivity and overflow of reddish-color were reduced after 72h. The application of PBM reduced pain intensity and nipples hypersensitivity, suggesting reduction of inflammatory process. The benefits reported in this study suggest the indication of this complementary therapy to cosmetic procedures for transgender people.
