Exparel pain shot. Is it worth it for an arm lift?

An arm lift is generally very well tolerated and associated with less discomfort compared to many other cosmetic procedures. The patient can expect some bruising and swelling that improves over the first week. Exparel is injected into the surgery site and typically reduces the pain level for 72 hours. Think about your pain tolerance level and let that impact your decision.

Probably not. Exparel is marketed to provide up to 72 hours of pain relief after surgery. Many doctors will provide a multimodal pain regimen that treats pain quite effectively after surgery (with no exparel). If money is no object, I'd say go for it. Certainly not required. As always, be sure to research who is doing your procedure to increase the chances of getting a desirable result.
