Hard bulge in armpit after liposuction. Is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:Lilliantee

I recently had liposuction of my upper arms, axilla and bra roll on November 2nd. I know it’s only been 12 days out since surgery, but there’s this hard lump that’s pretty big that I’m concerned about. The doctor’s office said to just give it time and massage daily, but it doesn’t look like its going to go away. I still wear my compression garment everyday too. Can someone tell me if this is normal?
