Is weird bump underneath my armpit after breast reduction normal?

Asked By:Wehores6 in Rolla, Missouri

I am not comfortable submitting pictures so I am not including them, however I was wondering if it is normal to have a bump with slight bruising 6 months out of surgery. The bump is about 4 inches long and the bruising is quite yellow toward the bottom. Is this swelling, a clump of fat, or could it be something abnormal? I’ve heard swelling may not diminish for up to a year, but in before and after pictures I’ve never seen a bump underneath the armpit.
