Abstract: Objective:To explore an effective treatment method for mycobacterial infection of multiple abscesses in the face and breast after autologous fat injection.Methods:Six patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection after autologous fat injection in the face and chest were treated from June to September in 2018. All patients underwent preoperative ultrasound localization. The small incision was opened for debridement and the necrotic granular tissues were completely scraped. Vacuum aspiration therapy in the sinus was used to promote wound growth, in line with the standard anti-tuberculosis drug treatment.Results:All six patients in this group were being followed up for 10-14 months. The average follow-up time was 12 months. All the infected patients were recovered, and the appearance of the infected site was satisfied by the patients.Conclusions:Small incision debridement with vacuum aspiration therapy combined with a variety of anti-tuberculosis drugs can effectively treat non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection after autologous fat injection, and achieve good results.
