“…On ultrasound results, there could be scattered abscesses, fluid fat foci, or heterogeneous irregulatory and hypoechoic injuries [22,24,27,[34][35][36]. Histopathologic images showed ulcerous or granular lesions [23,34,37,38]. Meanwhile, fluid collection, abscesses, and air foci were seen in CT scans [10,21,26,[39][40][41].…”

“…Most antibiotic regimens included 1 -2 drugs [10,20,23,24,26,27,34,36,38,39,41,42,44,4 5]. Even though, some authors preferred to use 3 drugs and above [37,41,42,47]. These empiric antibiotic regimens were poorly effective, resulting in antibiotic changes when M. abscessus had still not been confirmed [27,41].…”

“…These empiric antibiotic regimens were poorly effective, resulting in antibiotic changes when M. abscessus had still not been confirmed [27,41]. Sometimes, antifungal medicine such as fluconazole was added to the regimen [37]. These medicines were almost ineffective against M. abscessus, leading to long treatment times and high costs.…”

Liposuction and autologous fat grafting are common aesthetic procedures these days. Although these procedures are relatively safe, some severe complications sometimes happen affecting aesthetic results and the patient’s quality of life. Postoperative infection of Mycobacterium abscessus after liposuction and autologous fat grafting is an uncommon complication along with untypical symptoms. This results in misdiagnosis and delays in proper diagnosis and treatments, prolonging the treatment period. This narrative review summarises cases of M. abscessus infection associated with liposuction and autologous fat grafting, then presents causes, diagnoses, preventive care, and treatments of such cases. This aims to enhance the awareness of this infection after aesthetic surgery and contributes to the appropriate prevention and treatment.
