Had Lipo and BBL on 5/29. On 6/5, started getting low grade fevers everyday - highest 101. On 6/7 completed Clindamycin. Surgeon said low grade fevers ok. More soreness in upper left cheek than in right but no alarm. On 6/9 my closet door banged my left cheek. Everyday pain is getting worse. Photos shown were taken 6/10. I went to see surgeon 6/11, he prescribed Levaquin as precautionary measure. He's not concerned about an infection and fluid build up is in the tissue.
