Should your surgeon close your liposuction incisions — or leave them open to drain? In this video, Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Aethos New York, explains the logic, risks, and benefits behind both approaches, and why he personally prefers a middle-ground technique for the best results.
Dr. Rapaport covers:
Why fluid drainage after lipo is necessary to prevent seroma formation
The aesthetic downside of leaving incisions open (“chickenpox scars”)
Why he often uses a single fine nylon stitch for smoother healing
The pros and cons of dissolvable vs. removable sutures
How darker-skinned patients can experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if the wrong material is used
His takeaway: properly placed, temporary stitches create cleaner scars while still allowing drainage — balancing safety and beauty.
