I had a revision surgery 6 weeks ago to remove scar tissue left after the first surgery. The incision is healed and I have no pain, but I can tell I still have some swelling, and some hardness/lumpiness. I was told by my surgeon I could lift after 6 weeks, but I'm just wondering if, with the swelling and lumps, if it's still ok to lift. I know the swelling is not due to fluid because I had a seroma with my previous surgery, so I know how to tell the difference between fluid and regular swelling.
