Answer: Fever It will be very important to clean your incision with thoroughly washed hands, eat nutritious food, drink a lot of water and keep your mind full of positive thoughts. It may be a little Seroma, it may be a stitch reaction, may be fat necrosis, maybe remite area infection (Urine or throat) and might be a incision infection. All above cause fever and the first 3 are not infection and easy to recover from. So please be calm and trust your doctor recommendations. May have Tylenol every 6 h in the mean time. Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Umbilical redness It looks like you have some redness around your umbilicus and you are best served by seeing your surgeon in person to make sure everything is ok.
