Fluid remaining after lipo, will it come out with urination?

Free fluid differs from edema or swelling. Massage and time will aid in the resolution of swelling. However, free fluid which persists is known as a seroma and often requires drainage.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

No drainage after liposuction is unusual, but the amount of drainage can vary quite a bit depending upon the number of areas liposuctioned, the volume infiltrated, the amount of lipoaspirate, and the use of sutures for closure of liposuction ports.  The fluid, if not present as a collection, should be absorbed.  Continue to follow up with your PS for advice.

Thank you for your questions. It sounds like you are experiencing some normal swelling after liposuction. This fluid should absorb over time but if you have any concerns, you should go see your surgeon to address your concerns.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Alicia. It sounds like you are experiencing normal swelling after liposuction and it will resolve with time, however all of it may not be gone for as long as six months after surgery. The body expels swelling in various ways and some fluid is absorbed and eventually excreted with your urine. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Generally small amount of fluid or seroma after liposuction get absorbed in body. If it remains for a week or of huge quantity, it is drained or aspirated by the plastic surgeon who has operated that patient. Ultrasound is a good guide to know about of balance fluid which can guide the surgeon about further treatment approach. Best wishes!
