Bacterial infection 4 months post lipo?

November 26, 2014
Asked By:djinn in UAE

I've been healing fine with expected results. Treated areas almost completely not swelling anymore. However recently I had UTI caused by bacteria. At day 2 of my 5 day antibiotic course, the treated areas started to get mildly sore. I'm now at my last day of antibiotics and my UTI symptoms have almost completely gone, but I'm still sore in those areas. I am worried that my lipo areas got infected by the same bacteria somehow. Is this possible?

Answer: Development of infection for months after liposuction is probably not possible.
