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

Thank you for your question. No, you do not need a drain after liposuction and fat transfer. Good luck with surgery.
Sincerely, 
Olga Bachilo, MD

Some surgeons use a drain in Lightbow suction sites if they are extensively emptied. This can help to prevent fluid collections. Other surgeons leave the incisions open to drain.  I would follow the recommendations of the surgeon you have chosen.
