After a breast reduction will the bulge underneath my armpits eventually go away or soften up? 2 days post op. (photos)

SWBell
I recently had a breast reduction and I had my drains removed two days ago. The areas where the drains were it feels soft and swollen but it does not hurt; just uncomfortable when I hold my arms down. The bulge is covered with a gauge. That will stay on for at least 3 days.
