Have I affected my results by massaging a possible "swelling bump" where my hump was removed 9 days post op?

Asked By:JMD90 in Michigan, MI

I had a hump removed by breaking the nose. 9d postop I removed the tape & there was a bump where the hump was removed. I read that massaging helps, so I pressed down/massaged the bump to get an idea of how it felt. 2 hrs later the area was red/darker than the other skin. I believe the bump looks the same. I didn't bleed or hear anything unusual while massaging. I don't believe there is any additional pain. Could I have affected my results? I have an appt in 5 days & my dr isn't in until then.
