A member asked:
I had gynecomastia surgery 6 weeks ago and today i saw a puffy lump just behind aerola, i removed the compression garment 2 days ago.. what to do?

Edema: You are still at risk for acute swelling in that time frame, can be isolated to a limited area. Could also be small seroma [a fluid collection], reapply the compression garment if swelling does not resolve than could be seroma and see your surgeon.
