Primary Outcome Measures:

Duration of Analgesia [ Time Frame: 10 days ]
The primary outcome measure is the duration of analgesia, measured by the time (hours) from the end surgery to the subject's first postsurgical opioid administration.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Total Postsurgical Opioid Consumption in the Surgical Center [ Time Frame: 10 days ]
Total amount of opioids (morphine-equivalent mg) administered postsurgically in each group.
Pain Intensity Assessment Upon Waking in the PACU [ Time Frame: Upon waking in the PACO post surgery ]
Subject-reported pain assessment upon waking in the PACU on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.
Pain Intensity Assessment at the Time of Hospital Discharge [ Time Frame: At the time of hospital discharge ]
Subject-reported pain assessment at the time of hospital discharge (assessed an average of 3.11 hours after surgery for the Instillation group and 3.20 hours after surgery for the Infiltration group) on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.
Time to Hospital Discharge Being Written [ Time Frame: At the time of hospital discharge ]
The time (hours) to the hospital discharge being written for subjects in each group,
Incidence of Opioid-Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Through 10 Days Post Surgery ]
The incidence of adverse events that were assessed as opioid-related
Overall Rating of Subject Satisfaction With Postsurgical Pain Control at Hospital Discharge [ Time Frame: At the time of hospital discharge ]
Subject-reported satisfaction with postsurgical pain control in the categories of "extremely dissatisfied," "dissatisfied," "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied," "satisfied," and "extremely satisfied."
Overall Rating of Subject Satisfaction With Postsurgical Pain Control at Day 10 [ Time Frame: Day 10 after surgery ]
Subject-reported satisfaction with postsurgical pain control in the categories of "extremely dissatisfied," "dissatisfied," "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied," "satisfied," and "extremely satisfied."

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Infiltration - EXPAREL Group 2 will receive diluted EXPAREL (i.e., the contents of one 20 mL vial, 266 mg, diluted with 20 mL of preservative-free 0.9% normal saline to a total of 40 mL) for postsurgical analgesia. Half of the resulting mixture (i.e., 20 mL) will be administered via local infiltration into each surgical site per the surgeon's normal practice at the beginning of surgery.	Drug: Instillation - EXPAREL Intravenous (IV) morphine sulfate, hydromorphone, or oral oxycodone with acetaminophen (5/325 mg) will be permitted following surgery, as needed. Other Name: bupivacaine liposomal injectable suspension
Experimental: Instillation - EXPAREL Group 1 will receive diluted EXPAREL (i.e., the contents of one 20 mL vial, 266 mg, diluted with 20 mL of preservative-free 0.9% normal saline to a total of 40 mL) for postsurgical analgesia. Half of the resulting mixture (i.e., 20 mL) will be instilled into each breast pocket at the beginning of surgery.	Drug: Infiltration - EXPAREL IV morphine sulfate, hydromorphone, or oral oxycodone with acetaminophen (5/325 mg) will be permitted following surgery, as needed.

Detailed Description:

Each subject underwent bilateral augmentation mammoplasty and received the same dose of EXPAREL. This primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of EXPAREL when administered via infiltration versus instillation as part of bilateral augmentation mammoplasty. The secondary objectives were to further assess other efficacy measures and the safety profile of EXPAREL.
