Blood clots or hematoma? I have sizable bruising under both implants near the scars . I went from a 36b 465cc to a 36DD (photo)

The bruises aren't getting any bigger , not really getting any smaller either and I'm five days post op. My surgeon is in Miami & I am in New York .... idk what to do . Should I wait to see if the bruising subsides or contact a surgeon in my area ??
