I am exactly 8 weeks post op and if feels like I have thick fluid and small bubbles or chunks under my skin on my tummy. My doctor says to massage them and that will help them dissolve but I am scared now. I can pop the bubbles or chinks and then the next morning it feels like they are there again. I am scared and don't know what to do. Please help!
