Abstract
A 42-year-old mother underwent a combined abdominal cosmetic procedure with fat grafting to the rectus muscle. Twenty-four days post-surgery, she developed a voluminous abdominal mass corresponding to cytosteatonecrosis. Ultrasound-guided fluid aspirations failed to treat her, and surgical drainage was necessary. The limits of combined procedures need to be discussed.
