Hi! this is again a case of incisional hernia and when a person presents to me with multiple abdominal surgeries and afterwords a mobile lower abdominal lump, I usually think of either a lipoma or more likely an incisional hernia!
I know that you are ready for imaging scan for it therefore please see your physician for a physical examination that would confirm it with >90% accuracy!
