Measure
Liposomal Injection Bupivicaine (Exparel)
Patients will have the maximum approved dose of Exparel, 266 mg, diluted in 20 mL normal saline, infiltrated into the rectus fascia and subcutaneous tissues at the time of abdominoplasty. Liposomal Injection Bupivacaine (Exparel)
Standard Bupivicaine
Patients will receive the maximum safe allowance of 0.25% bupivacaine, or 1.5 mg/kg (eg. 150 mg or 60 mL for a 100 kg patient) infiltrated into the rectus fascia and subcutaneous tissues at the time of abdominoplasty. Standard bupivicaine
