Soft tissue infection caused by Mycobacterium chelonae following a liposculpture and lipofilling procedure.

: Skin and soft tissue infections that usually follow minor traumatic events or surgical procedures are caused by a wide spectrum of bacteria. We describe a soft tissue infection caused by a Mycobacterium chelonae in an immunocompetent patient who underwent liposculpture and lipofilling of the gluteal-trochanteric region, emphasizing the importance of clinical suspicion and effective treatment of infection.
