I was bumped in the chest about 2 weeks post op ftm top surgery. I have noticed new swelling in my chest. The swelling is along the lower peck near the incision lines. When i put pressure on my chest the fluid moves around. Is this something I should be concerned with? Should the swelling go down in a few days? My chest is sore but that's it.

Yes I would think those results could be improved but it would depend on how you surgeon did your initial surgery because you don't want to interrupt the blood supply to your areolas. Liposuction might improve it, as well as weight-training to build up the upper part of your pectoralis muscle...
I would think you could get the liposuction and the areolar reduction at the same time. The areolar reduction should be done with a GoreTex or Prolene suture which is left in to reduce the risk of the areola spreading again
The cash price for top surgery is around $10,000. It of course will very depending on how large the breasts are and any other unique qualities related to the patient's anatomy
