I'm 3 weeks post-op. The swelling in my scrotum has gone away, but one testicle is very hard and sensitive. Should I be worried?

One side of my scrotum feels normal, while the other side is hard and still sore. Is this just the lingering effect of post tummy tuck/ with Lipo surgery? Or something more serious? Thank you!
