What is the drain called that is inserted in your thigh after a medial thigh lift?

Thank you for your inquiry! Drains that are typically placed after surgery are called JP (Jackson-Pratt) drains. They are placed to drain excess fluid. Once the drainage is minimal, it will be removed. We would love to meet with you to discuss your surgical or spa needs. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Thank you for your question! There are different types of drains that can be placed post surgery. I personally use  Jackson-Pratt drains, also known as JP drains. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. There are several different types of drains surgeons use for post surgery.  Physician preference and specific type of surgery determine the type of drain used.  During consultation I would recommend asking your surgeon the type of drain they commonly use.  I hope this helps!
