hematoma after breast reduction? (photo)

December 23, 2015
Asked By:Bunkum in London, GB

I had breast reduction surgery 4 weeks ago. I am thrilled with the results. However, I had really bad bruising on my right side under my arm and have now got sore lumpy patches. My surgeon has aspirated each time he has seen me, but they are still painful and hard. How long will they take to resolve, and is there anything I can do to hasten the process?
