Is it normal to have a fever of 100.3 after breast lift surgery on Tuesday?

Hi lizacash,It is not uncommon to experience fever right after breast augmentation surgery. However, it is still best to have yourself properly assessed by your plastic surgeon to ensure everything is healing well. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Please call your PS and make an appointment to be seen. Running a low grade temperature right after surgery is normal. But, I encourage my patients to contact the office if other issues such as increased pain, sudden increase in size, or increased redness appears. Best wishes,

Having a low fever after surgery is normal, but I recommend you make an appointment with your PS to make sure everything is okay.Best wishes.

Having a fever appear a few days after surgery, especially with redness around the incision, is concerning for an infection. I'd suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to be examined to ensure there are no issues. You may need antibiotics. Best of luck with everything. 

A low grade fever may be normal after breast lift surgery. Always best to keep your surgeon in the loop.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

It would be impossible to know the source of the fever, although postop low-grade temp is fairly common.  The first thing to should do is call your surgeon and be seen.
Be sure to follow with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Hope this is helpful, best of luck!
