Asked By:Wantnewboobsuk in New York, NY

I had surgery 6 weeks ago. 800cc under the muscle with a lift. My recovery was going extremely well and I randomly just woke up with a sore/swollen left breast. Hurt so badly. I ran a slight fever today, took ibuprofen and brought my temp down back to normal. Called the surgery nurse and she didn't seem bothered, she said she would "run it by" my surgeon to see if I should come in. As if rudeness and an attitude makes me feel any better. How likely is it to randomly get an infection overnight?
