My Edits
A chignon is a temporary swelling left on an infant's head after he or she has been delivered by vacuum extraction.

A chignon is firm and can cross suture lines, and it is often circular in appearance due to the shape of the suction cap.

It should begin to resolve within an hour, but it may take between 12 to 18 hours to completely disappear. There are no long-term consequences for the newborn.
