What Is The Hard Lump Below My Belly Button After A Hernia Repair?

I am 5 1/2 weeks post op from a Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck and major hernia repair. I noticed a hard lump almost directly underneath my belly button. Could this be scar tissue or possibly a hernia. I notice it mostly standing up not sitting. It usually doesn t hurt except when the evening comes and I m more swollen.

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion it is herniation from the scar tissue.

It is a type of hernia. I advice you should be checked by the doctor. Because there are many type of hernia, some times they cause acute pain requires emergency department visit.

So if you got your self examined than such a event can be avoided.

Ultimately a surgical correction is the only treatment


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
