I just had a lipo today. Is it normal to be leaking so much?

Question

Ariel Ostad, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  It is normal to leak quite a bit of you have tumescent liposuction. There is a lot of fluid placed inside the area treated and it is not totally removed through the suction process. It is also common for the fluid to be pinkish in color.-this is not active bleeding.  It is important to move around as much as you can to facilitate drainage. If the fluid is bright red in color, contact your surgeon immediately.Regards,Ariel Ostad MD PC

You can leak quite a bit after liposuction especially if the incisions are not closed. Best to review with you surgeon.

Thank you for your question! If you had a tumescent procedure, then yes, it is likely that you will have some drainage. This is normal, but please consult your surgeon for more information.
