My Dr. had said that he would put a drain in and remove it the next day. I would be getting chin lipo under local. I haven't seen anyone else mention a drain, is that normal or needed?
Answer: Drains following neck surgery I don't typically leave in drains following neck liposuction. However, I almost always do so following a necklift. Trust your face to a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or a board-certified plastic surgeon with very extensive sub entail liposuction and necklift experience. Ask to see before and after photographs and consider obtaining second and third opinions before you make any decisions.

Answer: Is it normal to have a drain for Chin Liposuction? I would not place a drain for chin liposuction but this does not mean that practice is incorrect. Alot of what an individual surgeon does is based on training and their unique experience. Your chosen surgeon might have found that placement of a drain creates the best possible results in their hands. If they do create natural, attractive results then that should be just fine. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Drain for chin liposuction? Although it is not common practice to place a drain after chin (or any other) liposuction, it may be that your doctor has found this to be advantageous to the overall result/healing process. Glad to help.

Answer: Chin Liposuction For the right patient, chin / upper neck liposuction is a very worthwhile procedure. It's relatively simple, and makes a very positive difference to those with a fuller neck but with reasonable to good skin tone.It's not routine to use a drain. A light compression garment is routine. Using a drain would not be unreasonable or bad practice - it's just that most surgeons would I think find it unnecessary.All the very best.

Answer: We do not place drains following neck liposuction surgery. In fact, there isn't a dressing either. At the conclusion of surgery, which is performed with a single-port, spatula-tip, 3 mm canula, we use elastic tape to hold neck skin in position. That is removed one week post-op, and we do not use garments.One of my gracious patients who underwent neck liposuction with rhinoplasty posted photos on her review linked below for your perusalHope this helps you.Dr. Joseph
