Im 5 weeks almost 6 post op. I had lipo 360, breast lift and tummy tuck. I noticed some hard spots on my side and then inbetween my breast i have this lump they are all hard? I dont go back to the doctor until june 6th. Just wondering if i need to get in sooner. Also could this be swelling from after removing my binder or caused by having it too tight. I know im supose to start wearing it a little less. My doctor said no reason to wear it after 6 weeks.
