Hello,
It could be a localized pus collection near the stitches site resulting in abscess formation. A chest x-ray PA view could be helpful before visit a doctor for an opinion.
I would advise you to take the opinion of a general surgeon as he would examine both the stitches site and right breast swelling and advice tests and medications accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
