Why Is There A Lump 2 Weeks Post-Op Lower Blepharoplasty? Should I Massage It? (Photos)

ccharly
It has been 12 days since my lower blepharoplasty. I'm 33 years old. After my stitches were removed we (PS and I) noticed a lump (ball) under my left eye in the area where the bag was removed. Will this go away with time? Will I need another surgery? And lastly, I heard a mix about massaging it...Will it help or hurt?
