Asked By:sychosid in Vancouver, BC

i had gynecomastia surgery 2 weeks ago, and now have a hard lump under my right areola where the incision was(lipo and excision). I went out of town for surgery so i cant go and see my him personally. I did NOT have drains put in me. im not sure what to do i see a lot of conflicting reports that its scar tissue(some say its to early) or if it is a hardened seroma as i was leaking quite a bit of fluid out from that side right after the surgery and the following days.
