Pus Draining After Liposuction?

    Infection from liposuction occurs rarely and should be followed closely by your plastic surgeon.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. This area is a high risk for abscess due to the production of sebum in the hair follicle.  It may take 6-8months for complete healing. Be certain to get re-evaluated and stay under the supervision of a board certified plastic surgeon for best results.  I hope this helps.

Infection following liposuction is rare in our practice. Assuming that your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon, continue to follow hie or her instructions. 

Infection after liposuction is extremely rare, but does occur. Most are easily treated with antibiotics. If the drainage continues there may be an opening or a tract that remains.. As long as the skin opening remains open by packing, the tract should slowly close by itself. Continue checkup with your surgeon to make sure the tract is closing properly.

Infections following liposuction are very rare.  If you have continued drainage, fevers And redness spreading away from the incision site, you should be seen as soon as possible.  Antibiotics should help this resolve, but you may need more aggressive intervention.  Make sure your surgeon is aware of your situation and is addressing it. 

recommends.  It is unusual to have infections after liposuction, and it is a long hole for the cannula, so it will take some time to heal.  The amount of gauze you pack should be getting smaller as the time passes, so that is one way to see if things are progressing.  Good luck!
