Breast Reduction - swelling and bruises

I had a breast reduction surgery 5 days ago. After the first shower, when I took off my compression bra, my left breast swelled up compared to the right. It's been 3 days and it hasn't gotten better. I have a large yellow bruise on my left breast, the right is relatively bruise free. And when I move, it occas' feels like fluid's moving on the outer edge of my breast - small streams. Is it normal?

Procedure: Breast Reduction
Location: Bratislava - Slovakia

Contact your plastic surgeon as soon as possible. You have a seroma, a hematoma or both. And it need to be drained. Hope it helps!

Hello! It is part of the possible evolutions in this type of Surgery, so it is necessary that you return to your plastic surgeon so that he can perform a clinical evaluation and a breast ultrasound to determine the diagnosis, and offer you the corresponding treatment to resolve it. and relieve you of the hassle.
