Asked By:spe18 in Dallas, TX

This picture is day 2 post op. So far I am ecstatic about the results; the gynecomastia results in particular are really dramatic. Not in much pain whatsoever. However, I think I may have a hematoma. I don't have my post op appt until 10 more days so what do you guys think? Does it look like a hematoma or is it just normal bruising? Could it be burn marks from the ultrasonic assisted lipo? Im concerned about the vertical dark purple mark on my central abdomen and the one on my left side.
