Abstract
- Autologous fat transplantation is one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures. The intervention is composed of suction of the subcutaneous fat (liposuction), then injection of homologous fat tissue (liposculpture) obtained from the abdominal regions. We herein report a case of soft tissue infection caused by Mycobacterium abscessus, in a 54-year-old female patient, which occurred after autologous fat transplantation in area treated by liposuction.
