Axillary breast tissue removal surgery - will it cause a hard lump?

March 31, 2022

I'm 28 years of age, black, female, 5.7 and i have accessory breast in my right axilla. My friend removed hers but after a few days, there's was a hard lump in the area where the tissue was removed, it almost feels like a bouncing ball. According to her doctor, it will take some time for the muscles there to relax and the result to be visible. My question is, does it happen like that for all people, what causes the hard lump and how can it be treated?
