What should I look for if I am worried about having an infection?

Post operative infections are not common; however, it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of an infection. If you experience any of the below signs/symptoms, please contact our office to speak with the physician or PA:

• Fever and/or chills
• Sudden increase in pain
• Redness around your incisions that is expanding (with increased warmth to the touch)
• Thick, yellow/white/grey discharge from incisions
• Incisions appear open and/or sutures are not intact
