Pain pump and Exparel?

Exparel works very well to help control pain the first days after surgery.  It can be combined with oral pain medication for pain management.  There are several medications available that do not contain acetaminophen.  Your surgeon will pick one that he/she feels will work best for you. If you have not yet selected a surgeon, we welcome you to visit our office for a consultation!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  I have used exparel for many of my patients with significant improvement in pain control.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
