Answer: Early days yet Could be a simple bruise at this early juncture or a small seroma.If it doesn't settle over time it may represent a focal area where your muscle repair didn't hold.Its too early to tell yet. Keep holding hands and following up with your plastic surgeon. The tincture of time and your surgeons expertise will answer that question for you.
