Can someone tell me what to expect with liposuction drainage?

Patients drain bloody tinged fluid from the very small incisions after liposuction for about 8-48 hours. This is a good thing because, it lessens the bruising and the chance of fluid build-up under the skin.
We place absorbant dressing over all wounds, and we ask patients not to remove their dressings for two days, after which point there is no more draiange. They can shower regularly and wear a T-shirt under their compression garment.

After liposuction there usually is a significant amount of drainage through the incisions. A drain can be used for a few days in certain areas and this will help but you will not feel clean for several days after this type of surgery because you cannot prevent the drainage if the liposuction surgery was of any significant amount.

If a Doctor does liposuction only in the office and never has much drainage they probable are not doing a Liposuction Surgery that would give a significant improvement
