Is it norm to have chills, cold sweating and night sweats 2 day after liposuction surgery?

April 12, 2015
Asked By:Zimama in Chicago, IL

My surgery was on April 10th. Everything was just fine until last night. I kept waking up in cold sweats. Now feeling a little cold and keeps sweating, it's deffinately sweating not drainage. Even though I know it's warm. I'm very swollen but I presume it's normal. Thanks
