The two infections in back lipo area she thinks maybe staph they are draining pretty good . I still get fevers and the cellulitus worries me it will continue to spread if I move? Will I lose half of my new butt? Could I end up in hospital? Will kflex help the cellulitus I just started taking it?

I am sorry you are having this problem. As you know, it can be =come very serious. Follow your surgeon's recommendations closely. If it is still getting worse despite the oral antibiotics, the next step is likely admission to a hospital for IV antibiotics and possibly a surgical debridement.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. 
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
