Issues with seroma?

I had my surgery on the 3rd and had my drains in until yesterday (around 60ml at the end, not a lot)

Everything was fine until this morning. I've already contacted my surgeon with pictures but he's gone until the 17th (my check-up appointment) they're very watery/swollen in general. I've switched out the post-Op binder for the one provided by them since I believe that it was a bit too tight around my stomach which made the liquid gather under my chest. After a few hours of wearing the new one it seemingly spread more evenly. I'm not sure if that's a good sign.

I've been lightly massaging/tapping the area and heating with a warm water bottle. The left side has gotten better but it kind of burns in that area now. The right side is still rather swollen.

Any tips, similar experiences? I don't want to ruin my results with this :(

it's hard to judge how much physical activity is alright and beneficial
