Warm breast after reduction

Warmth, redness, tenderness, draininge and fevers can all be signs of an infection. I would call your plastic surgeon to make sure that nothing is wrong.

Breast reduction infection?

With your history and a description of localized “warmth” I would assume you have an infection until proven otherwise. Request evaluation by your surgeon ASAP. Best wishes.
