Is Exparel worth it?

I now use Exparel on every tummy tuck I do. I just included it in the procedure fee. Your ability to get around after surgery will be dramatically better.  You can do it without but you will move better with it.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!  In our practice we find that patients are much more comfortable in the first days of recovery when using Exparel.  Talk over the pros and cons with your surgeon to determine what is right for you.

I switched my patients from a pain pump to Exparel several years ago and my patients do very well with it, much less cumbersome than the pain pump. Good luck.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well .. based on your question in that case, the ideal is to consult with your certified plastic surgeon everything concerning the case.

I use exparel on all my tummy tucks because it dramatically improves recovery. One of the most important things to do after a tummy tuck is to be up walking. Early ambulation is critical to reducing the risk of a blood clot after surgery. I find that exparel helps significantly reduce pain after surgery and patients are able to get moving better right after surgery.   I would highly recommend that you use a provider that uses exparel in their surgeries regularly. Best of luck on your journey.
