How “normal” is the bump in my armpit? (Photo)

April 22, 2019
Asked By:GSYT in Chicago, IL

Hello, I’m about 4 months post op. Transaxillary incisions, under the muscle, mentor implants. After my BA/during healing, I noticed a bump under one of my armpits (other armpit seems fine) and seemingly beneath my incision. It doesn’t hurt and I haven’t noticed it growing or shrinking. My PS says it can be drained or I can leave it, but draining doesn’t ensure it won’t reappear. Is this normal? Should I get it drained? Attached are different angles of the bump. Thanks!
