Small, hard knot/lump 6 days post op breast augmentation. Is this normal? (photo)

August 7, 2018
Asked By:Lolo0330 in Lafayette, LA

Around maybe day 2 post-op I noticed a tiny bruise on the inner side of my left breast. Around day 3/54, I started feeling around the bruise and I noticed that under the skin there is a small knot/lump about half the size of a gum ball. Are tiny knots/lumps normal to feel after a breast augmentation? I go for my one week postop appointment tomorrow so I will surely ask. I guess I just want a little reassurance in the meantime!Otherwise I am 100% happy with the outcome so far!!
