How would someone end up sepsis and with MRSA after mini tummy tuck and fat transfer from legs to breast? (photo)

I went to a board certified plastic surgeon.Had mini tummy tuck, lipo on stomach and thighs and then fat transferred to my breast. Whole procedure lasted less than 3 hours. Doc put around 400 cc in each breast. Then 14 days later ended up in ER with Sepsis and MRSA had stomach and breast drained and was released 5 days later. Any idea's what went wrong I am aware of complications but this seems a little extreme. Pic is 5 days after surgery before getting compression garment.
