Hi I had lipo to my back and flanks and a tummy tuck 4 weeks ago. Last week I went to my ps because (on my back the two incision site where they went in to do lipo) begin leaking. In addition to that I had terrible back pain and the area was swollen. I knew something was wrong because after I had lipo to my back that pain went left. My ps took samples and put me on meds. Results came back a week later and it was mrsa. The lipo incision site turned into a staph is this common or deadly.
