How long does drains stay in after liposuction? Aren't drains not commonly used in liposuction procedures?

3500cc of fat was removed during my liposuction procedure, and I was given two drains. Drains seem to be uncommon for liposuction (more widely used after tummy tuck). How long can I expect them to stay in? My doctor did not remove them during my day 3 post op visit, but I do have a 10 day post op visit. Is it likely I would have stop draining by then?
