Post surgery fluid.

The fluid will aid the healing and unless it is really significant in volume, your surgeon will prefer to leave it to disperse naturally. But if it becomes a lot ( ie you can actually hear it slosh around) or the discomfort increases too much, you may want to see if massage will help. A good lymphoedema therapist is best as it needs light, directional massage. Good luck.
