Thanks so much for your inquire,

Swelling can last for several months after surgery, particularly if there were complications. Although 6 months is a significant amount of time, individual healing processes vary. Swelling from internal bleeding might take longer to resolve. Formation of scar tissue or fibrosis in the area where the bleeding occurred can sometimes cause unevenness or a lumpy appearance. This can gradually improve with time, but it may require additional treatment in some cases.

In general, many patients see improvement in asymmetry and swelling over the first year post-surgery. However, persistent issues after this time may warrant further evaluation. your surgeon is the best person to guide you through the next steps and help address any concerns about your healing and results.

Asymmetry after any procedure can happen. It is possible that your sudden pain was some "popping" of some sutures. You should be seen and evaluated by your surgeon. No one on here will be able to appropriately answer your question. Call your surgeon.
