Abstract

We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis after tumescent liposuction, a new and increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure. After radical surgical debridement and staged full-thickness skin grafting, the patient ultimately recovered. The significance and recognition of this serious complication is emphasized.
