Infection after Vaser Liposuction - what are my options for a possible revision?

March 10, 2022
Asked By:Novastrega in New York, New York

I had 360 Vaser Lipo in July. In September I developed the first abscess. I continued to develop them,I went back to my PS who couldn’t say why. I did my own research and decided it was mycobacterium fortuitum, as confirmed by an infectious disease dr. I am on doxy for the next few months but still feel tracks under my skin. I am tired, frustrated and have paid so much in medical bills. I hate how I look. At what point can I go to a new PS for eval & possible revisions?
