I've been on a few consultations for tummy tuck, some doctors use long acting marcaine, others use exparel. Does one help the pain more than the other? Thank you

Answer: Marcaine vs. Exparel for pain management Thank you for the question. Marcaine has a shorter half life than Exparel. Exparel is basically Marcaine in liposomes and is released slowly to last up to 3 days. The other main difference is the cost. Exparel is more costly than Marcaine. Good luck with your surgery!Dr. Khuthaila
