As a nurse I am telling you that you need to contact the surgeon that done your surgery or go to the ER. That happened to me on my first surgery and they called it a seroma. I had to do what is called wet-to-dry dressings until it healed, but you really should contact your surgeon right away.

Nurse Dorothy has it right! You don't wanna take chances with that.

Please listen to the advice of the others and call the Dr immediately. Having had a 3 of these I can tell you that they only progress and get worse. You will probably have to do the packing and dressing thing like the others said. I cannot stress this enough- CALL THE DOCTOR. Hope you feel better

My recommendation would be to follow everyone suggestions...go see your surgeon. I had this happen and it ended up being a stitch that my body was regecting...as soon as that was removed the hole healed shut..see your Doctor

I had the same thing happen and had a seroma also. It had to be drained and was really no big deal. I did not have to pack anything and just let it drain as my surgeon told me to. It healed very nicley.
