Fat transfer to hip, now very sore on one side and both sides are hard and can't lay on either side 2 weeks post op?

Question

Is this an infection or is this normal and Will go away and soften up so I can lay only my sides again ?

Steven H. Williams, MD · Answer

These questions should always be directed to your treating physician.  While infections are rare in these situations they can be quite serious.  Call your doctor today!It is normal to have some swelling which should slowly resolve over a few weeks post-operatively.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Any concerns that you have should be addressed in person. Some firmness  is normal but if you are concerned then you should check it out with your doctor.

There is no way any of us can tell you what's going on.
You should contact your plastic surgeon ASAP to let him or her know what's going on.
