I left a message for my doctor this afternoon but he hasn't called back and they are closed now! The day after I was so exhausted from fever I slept most of the day with very sore breasts. It's coming to the end of day 2 and I am still feverish with no energy and my entire boobs are so itchy! I was perfectly healthy before the explant! Symptoms are alarming me
Answer: Implant Removal and Fevers This is not normal part of the procedure. Usually there is a physician who is covering a doctor if a doctor is not available or out of town.At times low fevers can be from the lung, something we call atelectasis. Due to the anesthesia and the surgery, the patient not breathing deep enough can cause collapse of small parts of the lungs leading to fever after surgery. Obviously the major concern would be a surgical site infection when you are not feeling well and having fevers.If you are not able to get in touch with your surgeon, then the next best coarse of action is emergency room visit.Good luck.

Answer: Fever/chills after implant removal I would advise that you call your surgeon's office as soon as they open in the morning. If your surgeon is out of town, there should always be someone covering for his patients. If you are continuing to feel sick with fevers and chills, and you are not able to get a hold of your surgeon, then I would recommend going to the nearest Urgent Care center or Emergency Department to be evaluated. Some of the things you described are concerning and need medical attention.
