I had lipo with BBL 1 week ago. Now my hips are warm to touch, with slight redness and a persistent ache/throbbing. I had lipo to thighs, back, hips and a BBL. I’m worried I now have an infection/cellulitis. 2 days ago I had throbbing pain on my hip but it went but has since returned in one area which is also hard, pink/red and very warm. I’ve drawn a circle to monitor if it spreads and I’ve called the surgeons clinic where receptionist advised there’s no guarantee I’ll hear from PS today. If it’s cellulitis how long do I have before it turns severe? And I’ve been taking antibiotics the whole week.
