I am assuming this is from the the lymph nodes absorbing fluids, but would like some confirmation.
Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Angela. Photos and physical examination would be helpful, however nine days postop is still quite early in your recovery and it is probably secondary to normal swelling. As a precaution, check in with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Post Op Lumps on Armpit Hi angelac523, I understand your concern. However, it is difficult to provide you with an accurate answer to your question with online consult. It is best that you visit a board certified plastic surgeon, so you can be properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Lymph nodes follow breast augmentation Rest assured this is most likely a non-issue but I would go ahead and be seen or at least call your physician to discuss. You should be having a post op visit soon so please make sure the physician evaluates it in person and gives you feedback. Don't hesitate to ask your team, I would surely want to know this about my clients. Best of luck.

Answer: Swollen nodules I agree with you that this is probably swollen lymph nodes from normal drainage of operative area. If it does not resolve soon, show to your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: I am just 9 days post-op and have noticed some lumps under my armpits. Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without photos or an in-person examination it is difficult to offer advice. I would reach out to your surgeon to describe this change in your recovery. They can then determine the cause, and treatment. Hope this helps.
