There probably won’t be any complications, but it's important to watch out for them. Call your surgeon if you notice any of the following:
- The skin around the area of surgery becomes unusually red or hot
- The wound drains pus or thick, bad-smelling fluid
- You develop a fever higher than 101 F
- You have chest pain or a noticeable shortness of breath
- You have unusual pain or swelling in one leg
