I had a Tummy Tuck and Inner tigh lipo a week ago Friday and both drains came out this weekend.  Does anyone know how long they normally leave them in?

They normally leave them in until they are collecting only a small amount of fluid.  Mine were in for 6 days (LBL & BL), and my friends were in for 12.  It just seems to depend on how things go. I hope you are happy with your results!

Hi there, I had my drains in for 11 days. Since they came out, I have had my tummy drained twice with a needle for a small amount of fluid that is accumulating.  My doctor is Dr. Kent in Orange. He did a fabulous job! Who is yours? I have pics posted on my profile...he is an artist!
