What Causes Chills In Legs And Flanks After Undergoing Lipo?

I had lipo 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have chills constantly going up & down my legs & flanks (the areas treated). I feel fine other than the usual soreness & swelling. All seems to be healing as it should. I just have these annoying chills. I ve read similiar stories. Why is this happening?

Hello,
You need to see a doctor right away. Chills and fevers can be a sign of infection and should not be happening 2 weeks after a surgery.
Go to emergency if you need to but see a doctor right away
