Without more information and a proper evaluation it is hard to say how best to treat your hematoma. Commonlly, large hematomas require surgical treatment and washing out the pocket and controlling of the bleeding.
At 5'3 and 180 lbs, your body surface area is 1.90 meters squared. Aetna insurance requires 780 grams removal. At size 36 H, each 200 cc corresponds to 1 cup size change. Therefore, you would go down 4 cup sizes from an H to a D, which is proportionate to your body size. ...
Always best to check with your own plastic surgeon about concerns after surgery. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or reassurance.
Best wishes; hopefully, you will be very pleased with the long-term...
