Interested in lipo 360 & previously had sepsis - are there any precautions I should take?

Lipo 360 is very safe and small incisions are made. You should get clearance from an infectious disease doctor.

Because you had an infection with renal calculi doesn't mean you are prone to infections. Going to a body contouring expert who will perform your surgeon in an accredited surgery center will reduce the risk of serious infection to almost zero.

I would consult with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to review your specific history, but as long as the infection did not involve the abdominal wall tissues (skin and fat), and was due to a UTI/ kidney stone, unless you have some other medical issues, 360 liposuction should be as safe for you as anyone else. Good luck

Thank you for the question. Fortunately, there is no relation between having sepsis from a UTI--kidney stones and liposuction. There are risks with every surgery, but your risk is no greater than anyone else's.
