It is imperative that you seek treatment from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with hospital privileges and have your procedure done in a fully accredited facility.
this should be extremely rare. however you need to be done in a certified and inspected facility, and preferably by a board certified and experienced plastic surgeon. I have never had an infection from liposuction. my regimen is to have the client shower with hibiclens for 3 days in advance and the morning of the procedure if possible. don't get it in the eyes which can cause major corneal damage. I also use 5mg gentamyecin ( antobiotic ) in each liter of tumescent fluid ( used universally in liposuction, contains epinephrin to reduce bleeding ) and an intravenous antibiotic prior to the procedure starting ( usually cephalexin ). also as this is elective surgery never operate on a client with any type of open wound or infection.
