A doctor I had a consult with for 360 lipo says that he doesn't use drains and he stitches the incisions up straight after surgery. My concern is draining. If the incisions are closed immediately where will the fluid go? I always thought surgeons either used drains or left the incisions open for a while first.
Answer: Stitching incisions up- yes or no? There is no wrong or right answer, as different Doctors use different practices. It also depends on the needs of each individual patient, therefore different approach has to be used to achieve the best results. The advantage of leaving the incisions open means that there will be the drainage of the fluids. Usually, the incisions heal really well without stitches, however, there are certain points of incisions that might have tension and in these cases, sutures might be necessary in order to improve the aesthetic result.

Answer: Liposuction Thank you for your question. Drains are not necessary after having liposuction done. I typically close all my incisions at the end of each case. Fluid is absorbed on its own. Each surgeon will have their own protocol they wish to follow. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person and they will be able to evaluate you and discuss your concerns. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Drains after #liposuction with #PlasticSurgery Drains are not necessary after liposuction and the wounds can be sutured. There is bound to be some degree of tissue swelling after the procedure with imbibition of the fluid and bruising as a result of some bleeding, this gradually resolves as the body deals with it.For optimal outcome, please consult a fully qualified plastic surgeon, who has specialist qualification in plastic surgery 'FRCS Plast' after having being trained adequately in the field of plastic surgery, is registered on the 'Specialist register for Plastic surgery' with the General Medical Council and has been considered competent enough to be a member of the 'BAPRAS' (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and 'BAAPS' (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) at the least.

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra I disagree with most the other doctors I think most incisions need to stay open and I think especially for aggressive or HD liposuction you need certain areas of drains.
