Had hematoma drained yesterday. Should I worry that it might come back? My breast is still swollen today (Photo)

Asked By:Iamworthit88 in Santa Monica, CA

Does this look like regular swelling after hematoma drainage???? I was awake for the whole thing and it was so traumatic! I was terrified and didn't get a Valium until after surgery. I'm worried its coming back and I've been a complete emotional mess over this whole situation.
