Hi; sorry that your mother needs to have BMB. It sounds to me that she either has a hematoma or just significant bruising from the procedure last week. A hematoma is just a collection of blood under the skin. They can take weeks and weeks to go away but it will. Other than maybe some heat at the site, I don't think there's any effective treatment. I would make the physician aware though They might want to check it themselves.
