NTM: nontuberculous mycobacteria INTRODUCTION Autologous fat injection is a cosmetic procedure performed to enhance the cosmetic appearance. Infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), such asMycobacterium fortuitum, following cryopreserved fat injection have been reported. Mycobacterium mageritense is a rapidly growing NTM, and to date, there have been only a few reported cases of skin and soft tissue infection with Mmageritense. Herein, we describe 2 siblings who had subcutaneous infection with M mageritense following cryopreserved fat injection performed at a single clinic. To the best of our knowledge, these 2 patients are the first reported subcutaneous infections on the face caused by M mageritense.
