What Does A Lump On A Surgical Scar Indicate?

I had tummy tuck and liposuction 8 months ago. My stomach is hard on the inside and I have a big hard lump above my tummy tuck scar.with a small pouch .. I was thinking about more Lipo but the tissues are very hard...would that help... what about more massages? would that soften the tissue.. the more, I massage, the hard areas ,the more it hurt does this sounds like fibrosis ??? Please help

Hi
Thanks for trusting HealthCare magic for your health problems.

I have gone through your discription. It seems keloid formation over surgical scar (liposuction incision).

Consult dermatologist to remove it.
