To Stitch or Not to Stitch After Lipo | Dr. David Rapaport Explains

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. 🔹 Subscribe for more expert insights on body contouring, surgical recovery, and plastic-surgery education from Dr. David Rapaport. 🔹 Contact Aethos NYC to schedule a consultation about liposuction or aesthetic surgery.
