A member asked:
How can you tell if you have an infection from an adominoplasty or if you're just swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever: Infection is very rare-but fever and redness at any site with tenderness. Any yellow discharge would also be important. If you have doubts, your surgeon would appreciate your calling the office to let them know. If worried-then ask to be seen by Dr. No Dr. likes to have a patient suffer thru an infection.
