When having a Brazilian Butt Lift, is the use of a drain required after surgery?

I do not use drains.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

No. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

I do not routinely sue drains when I perform a BBL.  Some surgeons use them to drain fluid from the liposuction portion of the procedure.

I do not use drains when performing a bbl.  consult with board-certified plastic surgeons that routinely perform this procedure and you will hear preferences for and against using them.

Whilesome surgeons use drains, most do not. I don't use them. I findhm being unnecessary and they are messy. But ultimately you should choose a PS with extensive experience performing the BBL and you should adhere to his(her) practices. Good luck!
