What Causes Bruise And A Hematoma Of The Breast After A Biopsy?

I recently had a biopsy on one breast which showed no evidence of cancer. However, now almost my entire breast is very bruised and I have a hematoma about the diameter of a quarter in that breast. My doctor said that it is just a result of a bleed from the biopsy. We are scheduled to fly overseas in less than 2 weeks for our holiday and I am wondering if it is safe to fly with this.

Hi

Breast Hematoma. A breast hematoma is a collection of blood usually as a result of bleeding somewhere inside the breast tissue. ... After a breast biopsy, bleeding can form a hematoma or just the skin color that looks like a bruise.
