Burning and swelling around the incision and not feeling well might mean that there is an infection in the wound or even deeper. Alternatively, your aches could just be the flu. It is hard to tell over the internet. Please call your plastic surgeon and have him/her examine you to make sure that it is not an infection that needs to be addressed. Good luck, Heather!

You may have just an ordinary cold and the nerves along the incision line maybe starting to return. But it would be prudent to have your surgeon take a look to be safe.
