2 weeks post-op there is a mass above my groin. Is it a seroma or something that needs to be removed? (photo)

Asked By:Oregonma in Portland, Oregon

I received BBL April 12th. The area above my vagina/groin area was very bruised and swollen afterward, with 2 incisions. In the last couple days it has gone from squishy and swollen to a firmer consistency you can palpate. It feels like a hot dog under the skin on each side. The right side feels bigger. I live in Oregon and my surgeon is in Cali, just wonder if it could be seromas? Or something that needs removed. I tried marking on the picture where you can palpate the firmer swelling.
