So I can't find much on cellulitus after fat grafting i must be the only one. I thought I was healthy , clean , and didn't smoke now 3 infections after lipo- fat grafting to buttucks. The two infections in back lipo area she thinks maybe staph they are draining pretty good . I still get fevers and the cellulitus worries me it will continue to spread if I move? Will I lose half of my new butt? Could I end up in hospital? Will kflex help the cellulitus I just started taking it?
I'm about finished with my cephalexin from cellulitis.... and have a pre op appointment in the morning for a BBL.... my ankle is still swollen, but would a surgeon still go through with the procedure?
I had lipo with BBL 1 week ago. Now my hips are warm to touch, with slight redness and a persistent ache/throbbing. I had lipo to thighs, back, hips and a BBL. Im worried I now have an infection/cellulitis. 2 days ago I had throbbing pain on my hip but it went but has since returned in one area which is also hard, pink/red and very warm. Ive drawn a circle to monitor if it spreads and Ive called the surgeons clinic where receptionist advised theres no guarantee Ill hear from PS today. If its cellulitis how long do I have before it turns severe? And Ive been taking antibiotics the whole week.
I am 2 months post op BBL. 4 days after I was hospitalized with cellulitis. 6 days with antibiotics thru IV. Then 10 days once back home. After 6 wks I was told I can sit on a pillow. I tried & felt lots of pain in areas. I told my surgeon who said hard spots may be dead fat & suggested I put a hot pad & exercise but I am in too much pain to do so. I cant sit thru dinner, sit in car, or sleep, without bad pain. I have dark spots on my bottom also. No meds for pain were subscribed. Please help
Im 2 wks PO & it seems my recovery has taken a turn for the worst. When I was wearing my faja it felt like it was too tight (only at the bathroom flap) and it literally squished the fat into that area forming this weird mound like shape on each side. I had a low grade fever, chills, & significant pain. My bum is red and painful to the touch in spots. I saw my surgeon on Tues eve (2 days ago) and she started me on another z pack but doesnt think its infected. I may seek a second opinion.
Hi ! I just had bbl and I had a small lump on my leg- the doctor said it's cellulitis. He doesn't seem concerned that its anything bad at all. My temperature is 101. I finish antibiotics tomorrow but I think there is another area I might have cellulitis. Im really concerned as he doesn't seem to be worried about it at all and I don't know where to go for a second opionion. Please help.
Im 4 weeks post op and have a pink hard lump on my right buttock after a bbl. Went to the ER and catscan said i had cellulitis so they gave me antibiotics in my iv and discharched me with oral antibiotics for a week. I only have two days left and it looks the same. I saw a ps two days ago and he said he cant remove any fluids bc its a mass n to just finish me meds. But What happens if the antibiotics dont work? Am i going to need a 2nd surgery?
6 yrs ago I made a poor decision to have silicone (oil) injected into my buttocks which my body immediately rejected. I went to the hospital due to leaking and there I contracted a staff infection. I was released 3 days later and treated with antibiotics. I had cellulitis while on the antibiotics but have not had issues since. The treating doc recommended I get fat grafting but it was all still new so I declined but now after back to back births, saggy booty, and huge abdomen I need sx help!
bbl on Dec 18th, on December 21st during follow up, the doctor suspected cellulitis. prescribed Bactrim every 12 hours. on the 25th I was admitted to hospital. I was there for 5 days receiving zosyn intravenously. I was discharged on the 30th and prescribed doxycycline 100mg every 12 hours for 2 weeks. The biggest site of infection is on my right hip, it doesn't hurt anymore and it's flaking. I now have very painful and hard lumps on my right cheek, which had smaller areas of infection.
