Is it normal to get blood from a lipo drain hole the day after a TT and lipo?

Hello and thank you for your question. Bleeding and serious damage is expected following liposuction and tummy tuck procedures. Some mild bleeding from your incisions can be expected only one day following your procedure, so a small amount of bleeding is no cause for concern.


If you have any additional questions about your procedure or continue to bleed several days after your surgery, be sure to contact your board-certified plastic surgeon right away. Hope this helps!

Hello!
Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. It is common to get some drainage from liposuction access incisions after surgery. Often this is not straight blood, but usually a little blood mixed with the solution we put in prior to doing the liposuction. If you have alot of drainage; however, it's probably best to be evaluated by your surgeon. Best of luck!
