I had an extended tummy tuck and Lipo of hips and outer thighs and a fat graft in buttocks on 7/27/15. My recovery was going fine until Friday I began to feel nauseous. My nausea has continued to worsen over the past few days and now I can't take a sip of water without feeling like I may throw up. I am taking Percocet for pain and vitamins in the morning and evening, these also make me feel ill. I also am taking arnica for bruising and swelling. I need to know if my nausea is a sign of infection?
