My question is regarding procedures that need drainage tubes. A friend in Chicago had a mini lift without drainage tubes and had one, maybe two follow up appointments. Are drainage tubes typical for mini facelifts? How long before they come out? I'm also wondering how soon I would be ready to attend an important event following the procedure. Thank you.

Answer: Drains and Mini Facelifts It is surgeons preference to use drains during a mini facelift. I commonly use drains in my mini facelifts for 24 hours. I believe the drains speed up the healing process by decreasing bruising and limiting the chance of a lump or bump under the skin after surgery. Other doctors may not use drains and that is appropriate. I hope this helps.
