After liposuction there is some drainage of blood-tinged solution of local anesthetic fluid. Which in turn reduces post-operative swelling, and bruising. After liposuction patients wear absorptive pads to accommodate the drainage. With open drainage there is no need to wear an elastic compression garment for a prolonged time.
