Do you need a drain in after liposuction and fat transfer?

Thanks for your questions. Usually I don't use a drains after liposuction but some patients needs those if they have a lot of fat in the abdominal area. Please make sure to contact a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best of luck:)

Thank you for your question I personally do not use drains for liposuction, but every surgeon has different protocols. Consult with a board certified PS best of luck.

Hey there
Generally most surgeons do not place drains after liposuction. That being said, some surgeons leave their incisions open to encourage drainage and some surgeons close these sites with sutures. Occasionally some surgeons will place a small drain or piece of plastic to assist drainage if they do a signifigant amount of liposuction and really empty all fat from the sacral area on the lower back which occasionally can develop a fluid collection and require needle aspiration.  Every surgeon has their own method of doing procedures and if you’re going to a reputable board certified plastic surgeon and like their results I think any of the above is very reasonable.  Good luck!
