Hello and thank you for your question. I do not use drains after a BBL or any other  liposuction procedures that I perform. I hope this helps you and best of luck with your recovery. 

Thanks for reaching out. I actually never use drains after BBL.  It depends on your surgeons preference.  I do however have my patients use compression garments for at least 6 weeks.I hope this helps :)

Most surgeons do not use drains after a BBL.  Exceptions may be if the surgeon goes particularly aggressive in a certain area and feels that there is a potential for fluid to buildup in this space.  However, usually good compression and well-formed garments will prevent this.Best of luck!
