Exparel: the “mommy makeover” recovery hack. Exparel is a long-acting injectable pain medication that is placed into the abdominal muscle sheath and in incision lines during surgery. It helps control discomfort for 2–3 days after your procedure, making recovery more manageable and promoting early mobility. The benefit of early mobility? Safety. It dramatically reduces your risk of a post-op blood clot. #mommymakeover #plasticsurgeryrecovery #exparel #surgeryrecovery #plasticsurgerytips #postopca
