Hello,
* Looks like subcutaneous hematoma collection after the certain duration of surgery which may be accumulated from capillary bleed, secondary infection related the procedure, mesh reaction or else.
* Must consult your surgeon at earliest to prevent secondary infection spread and further cumbersome consequences.
