Drains are small devices to gather excess blood from the surgical site. You may need them in select cases of liposuction where your doctor thinks they can aid your recovery and prevent infections.
Depending on your liposuction goals, Dr. Sayed can determine if you need to wear drains after your surgery. If you do, Dr. Sayed and our team provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your drains. Drains are then typically removed within 7 to 10 days after your surgery.
