I'm still feeling terrible and this is the fourth day since my surgery. I just checked my temperature and it was a low fever. Should I be concerned ?

Answer: Recovery after rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. Generally, patients start to feel much better around the 4th day after rhinoplasty. Thats when the swelling starts to diminish and the pain reduces as well. Many patients have switched to plain Tylenol by day 4. A low grade fever may not be concerning if you don't have other symptoms, and can be related to reduced activity after surgery. However, you should definitely check in with your surgeon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!Dr. Mehta

Answer: Low fever after rhinoplasty or nose surgery Low fever is not uncommon after a surgery, nonetheless, the swelling, bruising, and pain must be improving as you move forward to your recovery.

Answer: Fever after rhinoplasty A low grade fever after surgery is often due to your lungs not being expanded completely - atelectasis. This is a result of being under general anesthesia. I would recommend that you start with 10 deep breaths every 10 minutes for 2-3 hours. If your fever persists or if you have any redness, pain, drainage - I would recommend you contact your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
