1 year post-op TT- I have nodules on upper stomach, not sure if it's scar tissue or dissolvable sutures. Should I get a ct scan?

One year since tummy tuck. I have a few nodules in my upper stomach near bellybutton. I don’t know if it’s scar tissue or the dissolvable sutures that didn’t dissolve. As I had problems on my incision with them not dissolving and had open wound for months. Had to have a wound vac on for 2 months. Should I go get a ct scan to be sure?
