Very concerned about lumpiness on one armpit after mini brachiolasty. Does it need revision, or just swollen?

Asked By:Anonymous2286622 in Vienna, VA

I am 5 days post op and am very concerned about how the shape around the back of my right arm is turning out. I was wearing my compression garment on that side too low at first, but have now pulled the sleeve up. No change at all and am worried it will heal in this shape. Is this just normal swelling? The other incision is not this lumpy at all!
