In reply to @vic83, Glad I read your post regarding the name for the lump I have. Went to view photos and mine was way more swollen than the ones in photo; yet in the same area. This seroma, had leaked for 4 straight hours (without anyone giving me a heads up, that this could happen and not knowing the name for it until just now. I was hoping that being soaked with fluid for that long would have reduced the swelling; but not so much. I was reading that using some type of compression garment could reduce the size of this; although, not sure i could handle that pain right now! I was wondering if I could put an Ace bandage and wrap that around it? At least I could control how much pressure I can handle.
Not sure why my font has changed on this site, anyone know?

Where did you have your procedure done and when is your follow-up appointment? You should call your doctor and tell them about it. It can interfere with wound closure. I was given an antibiotic in case mine had an infectious component. They need to be drained sometimes.
Just saw your original post. I would not wear anything on it without running it by surgeon and definitely no beach until healed. You don't need an infection.
