Is the drain tube necessary after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?

Question

I was recently watching a BBl journey video pretty much when someone gets there procedure done and they kinda give you a visual insight on how there doing after the procedure but make a long story short for a week or so she had a tube in her side she never said what it was for and when she got it removed it was really painful soooo.. I was wondering is it really necessary to have a drain tube and what is it for?

Most surgeons do not use a drain when performing a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. Might be wise for you to seek a secondary consultation by a board certified plastic surgeon.

I do not use drains during BBL. I would imagine...that the surgeon you saw put the drain for liposuction purposes... I do not use drains for liposuction either...but some surgeons do on occasion to remove extra fluid. Thanks

I do not use the drainage tubes for the BBL.  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
