| Abstract: | Herpes zoster may develop after surgery, but the mechanism is unclear. It has been previously reported after esthetic surgical
procedures, such as liposuction, breast augmentation, and face lifting. A post abdominoplasty patient who developed herpes
zoster 6 months after surgery is presented. This case may demonstrate an association between abdominoplasty and the reactivation
of the Varicella zoster virus. |
