Abstract
Abstract Public demand for gluteal autologous fat grafting, also known as a “Brazilian butt lift,” has increased over time, but these surgeries are not without risk of complications. Surgical infections range from 1.9% to 5% of the total complication rate for gluteal augmentation, including both superficial and deep infections. We present a case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis infection after gluteal autologous fat grafting and review the literature to discuss pertinent infectious and noninfectious complications of this procedure. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a common cause of skin and soft tissue infections and is probably underrated by many doctors and laboratories. Hence, S lugdunensis should be accepted as a significant pathogen in skin and soft tissue infections and should be looked for in all routine bacteriological examinations, and clinicians should be able to be acquainted with the name and the pathology of the bacterium. With increasing popularity of fat grafting for buttock augmentation, it is more important than ever to continue researching and learning to safeguard the satisfaction and safety of our patients.
