Asked By:mnorrie2018 in Lincoln, NE

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.
