After my last reconstruction I had one area that was persistently red for over a month.  This was a concern because it was my 3rd attempt after losing 2 previous ones to infection!  The doc kept me on antibiotics as a precaution, stating he might not have done that except for my history.  It did eventually go away and has been infection free for 2 years, although we never did figure out why the redness persisted so long.  I don't remember, however, that the area was particularly warm, just red and slightly tender.   I would hope this woman is keeping in contact with her surgeon to rule out any infection.
