| description | Summary:. Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare yet potentially fatal soft-tissue, polymicrobial infection. Aggressive debridement of the fascia and overlying skin as well as antimicrobial coverage constitute the mainstay of management, often leaving large skin defects. However, we demonstrate in this paper a case of a young woman who developed NF after liposuction and was treated by fascial debridement with minimal skin excision. Skin preservation will reduce the morbidity and improve the final aesthetic outcome. |
