Exparel is a long‑acting local anesthetic administered during surgery to stabilize comfort for up to 72 hours. Its extended release helps reduce the need for narcotic medication and supports predictable early recovery.
Exparel contains bupivacaine in a slow‑release formulation. Once injected into the surgical area, the medication disperses gradually, maintaining consistent numbing without repeated dosing. This controlled release helps minimize early postoperative discomfort and supports mobility during the first few days of healing.
Exparel supports controlled comfort during the early postoperative period. By stabilizing sensation for up to 72 hours, individuals can move, rest, and recover more effectively. This aligns with the practice’s focus on predictable healing and reduced narcotic exposure.
Exparel begins working immediately after surgery and continues releasing medication over several days. As sensation gradually returns, standard postoperative discomfort may appear. This transition is expected and is managed with the medications provided during recovery.
Exparel is administered only during surgery. It is not used as a standalone treatment and cannot be injected after the procedure. Individuals should inform the surgical team of any medication allergies or prior reactions to local anesthetics.
