Fever and pain after liposuction. 3 weeks post op?

.infection after liposuction is extremely unlikely. It is however possible andthis combination of symptoms after liposuction demands the evaluation of your surgeon.

Usually an infection at the surgical site will develop toward the end of the first week, but can occur later in some circumstances. Let your surgeon know about your symptoms so he/she can evaluate the treated area to see if you have signs of an infection that might need treatment. You might also contact your primary care doctor for a general evaluation to make sure nothing else is going on.

Yes, call your doc. Even if it's nothing, it's better to get checked out. See an MD in person.Best,
