After surgery, some redness is normal. But watch closely—your body gives early warning signs when something’s wrong.
Red flags to take seriously:
• Increasing redness or warmth
• Yellow or green drainage
• Fever
• Wound opening up
• Pain getting worse instead of better
These aren’t things to “wait and see.” They’re signs your wound may need urgent attention.
Early care can prevent infection, speed up healing, and keep you out of the hospital.
