Abstract

This case report describes the clinical course of necrotising fasciitis as a serious complication following outpatient liposuction. The patient required extensive surgical procedures, including radical debridement, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and multiple flaps to cover the extensive tissue defects, alongside prolonged intensive medical care. This case underscores the risks associated with aesthetic procedures and emphasises the importance of having such procedures performed exclusively by qualified and experienced specialists. This case also impressively demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis and interdisciplinary management.
