i had surgery 2 weeks ago. I had glands removed from both sides and then lipo as well. the right side has some small lumps but not really noticeable but the left side has very hard swelling going from my nipple to the incision where they did the lipo under my arm. I was told this was fine and to massage any hard lumps. is this scar tissue or just hard swelling or is that the same thing. How hard should i massage it as i want the hard lump to go.
