Hi,thanks for query.Some times when the lymphatic system gets blocked in that area this can happen.It is a system which is there all across body and helps in body defense.Please take a second opinion in this.After surgery for some weeks there might be some local reaction which can give rise to swelling.But still having swelling even after one year needs proper evaluation.bye.
