Today I am seven days post op. My recovery has been normal soreness and fatigue. The past two days I have noticed my butt is hot to touch. I’m not physically running a fever but my butt feels like It’s on fire. Is this normal

Answer: Recovery process Dear DrKaganDoll,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Fever in Butt Your buttocks fat grafted areas look like they may be infected. You must get immediate attention with IV antibiotics to try to save your buttocks fat grafting. This is the only way you can try to save a nice result. If there is any leakage, you should culture this in order to identify the bacteria you need to target with the antibiotics. Please keep us updated on your progress.Dr. Mowlavi
