Go back to your treating plastic surgeon
It is very difficult to say what you are feeling without an examination and knowing what exact methods were performed at your surgery. I would strongly advise you to return to your treating plastic surgeon for an evaluation. There are several things that this could be including “internal scarring”. Again, your plastic surgeon is the most qualified to definitively answer your questions.
