I had surgery 10 days ago (lipo and bbl) I have two separate drain tubes one in my pelvic area and the other right above my butt crack .( intergluteal cleft) but the one on my butt crack is still dark red but my pelivuc tube is light red and some what yellow. Is this normal? Yes I know it’s not common after liposuction to have a drain but that’s how my surgeon prefer to do it. The drain fills up less than 200ml in a 24 hour cycle. If i take the drain out too early can i remove it with a syringe?
Answer: After lipo, what color should my drain be? Is dark red still normal after 10 days post op Hello.

Answer: Post Lipo - Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, RF (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Vanquish, InMode Forma), Cellutone/Z Wave/Evive you need to speak to your physician to determine the post operative healing protocol and downtime.If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physciain wtih expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing. We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome. If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery Melimelz07I appreciate your concern, however drainage as described in your question is normal and the color and quantity can vary from location to location. While drain placement is not that common after liposuction, it sounds like it was a good option for you, because of the significant drainage you are experiencing. Follow up with your plastic surgeon with regard to when it is appropriate to pull the drains. Good luck.

Answer: Drain Output Thank you for your question. It is normal for the drainage in different areas to appear different, and it is also normal for those areas to vary in quantities. When I place a drain posteriorly, it is often the last drain removed due to high output. The more active you are, the more output you will encounter. With that being said, it is extremely important that the drain remains in the area. If you remove the drain too early, the drain hole can close, leaving fluid behind causing a seroma that will need to be aspirated multiple times a week if you're experiencing 200cc a day. I have my patients keep a folded washcloth in the area above the drain for compression, to promote the fluid out of the area, and into the drain. Keep and eye on the totals daily, and if you have any concerns visit your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a follow up. Good luck and best wishes!
