General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Consult your surgeon and get an ultrasound scan to confirm whether it’s a hematoma or not. Sometimes post operative collection can also present like this. Small hematoma will settle by itself and if it is large, it has to be aspirated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
