Is it normal for the chest to get swollen when massaging hard lumps post gynecomastia surgery?

Passionate83769
I had gynecomastia surgery 6 months ago and I still have a lump on one side that I believe is scar tissue. I have recently started massaging again after I did not for months. After I massage it to break it up it typically swells up and my breast looks swollen. Is that normal?
