I received liposuction of the lower/upper abdomen and flanks. I took antibiotics the day before the surgery, the day of, and the day after. I was also given Arnika Forte. 2 days after, I noticed some small green/yellow fluid discharge from my incisions that has a slight odor to it. So far no fever. I called my surgeon and he said it's only serous fluid. Should I worry that it's an infection and not only serous fluid? The thing that concerns me is the slight odor.
