You might have some fluid build up under the skin, or edema, which is fluid build up in the tissues. Did you have a drain when you first came out of surgery? Sometimes fluid continues to build up over time.
I would call the doctor if it is painful, or if you start to run a fever, otherwise, be sure to bring it up at your next visit.
Hope that helps,
Kerry
