Should I have drains after liposuction? 4 days post-op.

I just received surgery 4 days ago.( in the Dominican Republic)I had lipo on my abdomen, back, arms and chin. I have had 2 Lymphatic massages so far. I do NOT have drains. Fluid does come out of the hole in the back. But nothing comes out of anywhere when done on my abdomen. When I asked why wasn't any fluid coming out I was told that it would come out in my urine. I'm not a genius but I know that that doesn't make any sense. I'm concerned that I might not be getting the correct care post op.
