It's difficult to tell from that photo. Hematomas can and usually will resorb, although the process can take several weeks. And as the hematoma liquefies (part of the transformation) it may drain out through the incision.In order to avoid that I would suggest that you check with your PS; it may be a good idea to open the wound a bit and evacuate any of the clots that are still there or, if not, allow the liquefied hematoma to drain in a controlled manner. This should produce a good result in a shorter time than allowing the process to continue on its own.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
