Asked By:MandoLynn in Boston, MA

This will be the second time I have had liposuction but with a new doctor. She will stitch the holes afterwards and I have to go back a week later to have the stitches removed. I didn't have stitches the first time with the other doctor. I thought they were left open for drainage of the fluid.
