Is the area under my arms swollen or do I need to ask my surgeon about liposuction?

roo115
Hello! I am currently four days post op and went from a 34H to a 34C (hopefully after swelling). I am healing (painwise) very nicely and alternate prescribed anti-inflammatories every three hours. I have noticed, though, that the area under my arm/on my side is hard/stiff and sore when touched (I also put ice on them). They seem to be enlarged as well, as if my breasts extends to my side. Is this normal/swelling that will go down with time, or should I see my surgeon?
