    Yes I have this I'm 9 weeks post, directly over when the incision is and incision was warm its still there but not as bad, it went down significantly I mostly felt it when lying down on my non-operative side felt like a bowler hat was put over it its just swelling. I've read that it will go down gradually.

      in my case the swelling was a hematoma . they take months to level out.
