Hello, I am interested in getting liposuction 360. I suffered sepsis due to a uti with kidney stones a little over a year ago. I was 5 months postpartum and nursing at the time. Now im weary about getting the procedure due to risk of infection. Are there any contraindications in this situation? Are there any precautions I should take?
