I had a breast lift back in January. Will this swelling settle? (Photo)

Asked By:Vivid438465 in Raleigh, North Carolina

I had a breast lift back in January and had a terrible hematoma in one breast. It swelled like crazy and took months for the bruising and swelling to go away. At my 6 month follow up, I still had swelling underneath the breast, which my doctor just cut off about 7 weeks ago. It feels like there’s an indent in my breast—will this settle?
