How many days after lipo and BBL does the hot liquid in your abdomen stop producing? I had my first 5 lymphatic drainage.

Question

I am on day 6 as of today but the liquid is the worst part.

Drainage after liposuction is variable. Some patients drain longer than others. I personally like to leave the suprapubic stab incisions and the one above the buttock cleft open for drainage. Early lymphatic massage, which your surgeon believes in, is very good. If the drainage is clear or straw colored I would not worry about it, but certainly you need to express your concerns to your surgeon. With advanced body sculpting techniques, there's more drainage than with traditional liposuction only. Also, some surgeons close their stab incisions and there's no fluid drainage. I believe, the more fluid comes out, the better the final result and shaping. Again, discuss your concerns with your operative surgeon. Good luck.

I am assuming that you are still experiencing drainage from your abdominal incisions 6 days after your liposuction. Generally, drainage after surgery occurs at most for a couple of days. If your drainage continues to be persistent, you should follow up with your plastic surgeon. Thank you for your question. Best wishes.
