How to Recognize Signs of Complications

Staying Vigilant During Recovery

While complications are uncommon, knowing the warning signs helps you act quickly if something feels wrong. Early intervention can prevent more serious issues.

Warning Signs to Watch

Contact your surgeon if you experience fever, severe or worsening pain, excessive bleeding, or unusual discharge from incisions. Sudden swelling, redness spreading from the site, or shortness of breath also warrant immediate attention.

When to Seek Help

Trust your instincts. If you are concerned about any symptom, reach out to your care team. It is always better to ask than to wait when it comes to your health and safety.
