When having a BBL without drains, how long with you leak for after surgery?

Question

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

generally with liposuction and autologous fat transfer drainage will stop in 2-3 days.  There is no large dead space and drains should not be necessary

Thank you for your questions. The amount of leakage from the incisions will depend heavily on technique. You should discuss that with your surgeon. For the most part, if you have drainage from your incisions, it should not last longer than 1-3 days.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Thank you for your question. Not every Surgeon uses drain for tipo and BBL, i'm one of them and normally my patients don't leak. In the case that it happens it wouldn't be more than the day after the surgery. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question. I do not use drains for my BBL and patients rarely complain about leaking. If you were to leak it would be due to the liposuction port holes - this can happen for the first 1-2 days after surgery, and usually subsides rather quickly. Best of luck!
