Thank you for your question.  Usually after liposuction and fat transfer, drains are not needed.  Some surgeons may have slightly different approaches and may use drains, but this is not too common.

Thank you for the question.In my practice, I always use drains for liposuction and tummy tuck patients. I have learned that these make patients heal and recover faster.Dr. Campos

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Some surgeons use drains and others do not. I usually do  not. I think it really depends more upon the technique used to harvest fat.  Some are more likely than others to cause fluid collections.
