Does it look infected?

Thank you for your question.Some signs and symptoms of an infection include: redness, tender to touch, warm to touch, purulent discharge. It is best to speak to your surgeon for an in person assessment.Regards,

Dear Patient: thanks for your question and photos.  I will have to agree with my fellow Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, you need to go see your plastic surgeon right away m.  Only an exam will determine what's going on!  Please schedule a post op appt right away!

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!
