Greetings:While there are lots of reasons for platelet counts to be elevated, an early sign of infection can be one of them. Your family doctor / PCP is the person you should discuss this with.

Hello and thank you for your question!While it is not abnormal to still have some post-operative pain at this point, these concerns need to be discussed with your surgeon. At this point the pain should be easily managed with analgesics and should be decreasing each day.Good luck!
Hi, Will need to compare it to old pictures to know the cause. Most likely to be cellulite that got worse with the fat transfer. Less likely to be caused by the surgery itself. Your surgeon should be able to tell the difference. However, this can be treated.
Thank you for your question. Having an active viral infection is an issue that has to be considered before any elective surgery. This may be an indication that your immunology system may be compromised and it may be a better idea to postpone the surgery process. Dr. Derby Sang Caputo, MD. Do...
