ABSTRACT

We can define the liposculpture as a medical surgical procedure that allows the extraction of fatty tissue of an enclosed area with minimal scarring and no relapses are possible. Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgeries today and the largely fat injection of autologous fat, drawn to give better shape and increase volume level generally buttocks. Reporting in the literature to less than 1% of serious adverse effects practiced by physicians certified plastic surgeons, with severe adverse effects of the most common: local or systemic infection, abdominal wall, chest, hypovolemic shock secondary to bleeding, pulmonary embolus, plunger stopper fat and secondary systemic reactions to anesthesia. This article presents two cases of severe infection following procedure and liposculpture and fat injection, their development and management.
