Should I still be leaking 9 days after Lipo?

I have had patients who leaked for up to 2 weeks and others who have stopped in 1 day.  If you are concerned please see your doctor to evaluate.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Normally drainage stops between 1-5 days post liposuction.  In some cases, drainage can continue for up to two weeks. Please see your surgeon to discuss ypur concerns.  Good Luck

It is unusual for patients to drain following liposuction beyond 48 hours.  Best to inform your plastic surgeon and follow their advise. Bet you are glad to be ten days out from surgery.  Best wishes

Drainage from lipo usually stops after a few days. You should probably be seen by your surgeon to be properly evaluated.

Depending on the amount of fluid that your surgeon used while performing the liposuction, leaking is still possible.   Fortunately, it will resolve. 

What you describe is not typical but certainly happens from time to time. The combination of a full abdominoplasty in conjunction with liposuction is a lot of surgery. A lot of spaces were created that will lose fluid. Until the spaces are sealed off, your body will continue to make fluid. With time, things generally settle down and heal up.Keep your plastic surgeon informed and be patient.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
