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!

Most patients do not have drains after a liposuction and fat transfer to the buttock procedure; wearing the right sized garment is key.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Thank you for your question. I personally do not use drains for my patients that have Brazilian Butt Lift surgery.

All depends on the surgeon.

Good luck!

Thank you for the question. In general, drains are not placed after BBL. I recommend compression garments and massages after surgery.

I do not routinely use drains in BBL patients. Some surgeons do and it may be related to the type of liposuction performed.  Best of luck.
