Lump at Underarm After Breast Augmentation

Laniep79
I'm 1 week post breast re-augmentation. My Dr. did it transaxillary again. I went from 275cc to 450 cc. I have a marble size mass under my arm where I would guess he tunneled through? Is it scar tissue, swollen lymph node, or do I have reason to be concerned? It is tender, but no bruising or other symptoms. Thanks!
