Thanks for responding. No i dont have any leg pain. I called the PS office...my surgeon is in surgery today, so the nurse had spoken to the other surgeon at the office regarding my symptoms, and the nurse stated that they suggest i contact my primary doctor because being 19 days out, that my symptoms are not associated with the surgery. hmm. idk. guess ill see how i feel tomorrow.
thanks! I'll give him a call as well!

I went with Dr. John Kim out of Northwestern. The most amazing man. He is one of the busiest surgeons in Chicago. (No consult fee).
The lower body lift, breast lift with internal bra, plus implants, and lipo of the side boob fat - about 6 1/2 hours of surgery. One night in hospital. I am so in love with myself I cannot stand it.
I wanted a FDL and when I told that to Dr Kim he winced. He said that long scar goes against everything a plastic surgeon is about. So I didn't have one - and STILL look great.
Any future surgeries will be with Dr Kim for sure.
I'm going to set up an appt with Dr. Shifrin for sure. I haven't come across Dr. Kim's name, but I'll look him up. Which one did you decide to go with?

Dr Krochmal was my first consult. He is very personable and how he details what he is going to do I really appreciated. I thought for sure he was the one.
However I also saw Dr. Shifrin and Dr. John Kim. After consulting with them, Dr. Krochmal moved to the bottom of the list. Krochmal wanted to do something that one of the doctors described as unsafe (greatly increase my risk of blood clot). There were a few other things that made me rethink my choice.
I am 20 days out from 360 lbl, breast lift and breast implants and am back at work and feel great!
Best of luck to you.
Your symptoms are not normal. It does sound like an infection. Do you have any leg pains. SOB and rapid heart rate is concerning. Hopefully if you have not seen your PS today you have gon to ER.

Hi, Than you for your response. I did go through real-self. Unfortunately couldn't find any doctor with proper reviews (Germany, UK, Switzerland)
ok so besides the seroma, that the doctor wasnt able to get any fluid from aspriation. (and it seems like instead of having 2 little seroma locations (one on each side of my belly button) it just seems like it got bigger and longer. ...
the last few days ive been SEVERELY freezing. nothing i do can make me warm, except for hopping into super hot shower... chills constantly, or sweaty at times. somewhat short of breath...last night after going into basement to switch laundry, i came back upstairs and had to sit for a little bit, cuz my heart was racing and i was out of breath. no fever. took temp this morning. it was 97.2. i saw the PS last thursday for the seroma and had mentioned how ive been dizzy, (alot), and that ive also had diarrhea...he told me to just stop taking the antibiotic. ok, fine. but im still freezing..turned the heat up to like 75 degrees, got a sweater on, and covered up with a sherpa blanket, yet im still freezing :( im concerned about sepsis or some sort of infection perhaps. :( gonna call PS at 9 and see what he thinks. anyone else have these issues? i looked online and sepsis with tummy tuck is very rare apparently, however i did also have brachioplasty and both procesures had lipo. so, idk. I got ZERO sleep last night...either from sweating, itching, or just trying to find some sort of comfy position. my sides still hurt so im still forced to sleep on my back.
Just wanting to know if these things are normal, or something to be alarmed about.
Congrats!! Who's the Dr you're going with?
