9 months post op - Swelling appeared after paddling, should I be concerned? (photos)

Generous622389
I am 27 years old and had mommy makeover 9 months ago. Everything was going smooth until last week I went paddling where I paddled and lifted the heavy paddling board. The same day I got swelling where I used to have but had resolved and flattened . It is not getting better. I am very concerned that I have ruined my results and will need another operation.
