Anyone have a Hematoma after Lumpectomy?

I developed a huge hematoma at the node removal site while still in the hospital post surgery and was required to stay overnight, even though it was a lumpectomy. They wrapped it tight with compression bands and it gave me comfort and resolved on its own after that.

Yes, I had a large hematoma in what was remaining in a small breast following a double lumpectomy. I didn't get much help. Was assured it would be resolved within the year, and that it was not unusual for this to happen. I was told to wear a tight bra and alternate cold and heat for 15 minutes several times a day.
