Will I have drains after my thighplasty (thigh lift)

Body Contouring with Dr Bernard Beldholm

This podcast provides an overview of the different techniques utilized in thighplasty, particularly focusing on the use of drains post-surgery. It explains the author's preferred technique, which involves liposuction and tissue dissection, and excludes the use of drains due to minimal space creation beneath the skin. In contrast, the traditional method, which involves undermining the skin, often necessitates the use of drains to reduce complications. The text reassures patients undergoing thighplasty with the author that they will not require drains but will be provided with compression garments and appropriate dressings.
