2 weeks post op Brazilian Butt Lift, my front drain hole is still open after my drain was removed. Any suggestions?

Question

I had a bbl 2weeks ago and i got my front drain removed 3days ago and the hole is still open,at this point im worried. Will it close and when should it close?

Ravi Somayazula, DO · Answer

typically all drain holes close within 2 to 3 days after removing the drain. If it is still draining three weeks after your procedure you should go back to your plastic surgeon to have him or her evaluate it.

Josef Hadeed, MD, FACS · Answer

The drain holes usually take a few days to close.  If you have any concerns you should see your plastic surgeon so that he/she can evaluate it.  Best wishes.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

At three weeks, usually the drain hole if used closes a few days after removal of the drain. You should probably review this with your surgeon to make sure things are OK.

I have never had an issue with drain holes. They close very nicely, a little antibiotic ointment and a bandaid.Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

Do not worry. This will heal up completely and you won't even know it was there. Good luck with your BBL! I hope you have a lot of volume! Best regards, Dr. DelVecchio
