Dear Swflmom81,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

If this is painful, your surgeon can make a small incision and remove the suture and excess scar tissue. Please go back and discuss this with her.

I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss options if it is continuing to cause you discomfort. Since it occurred so long after surgery it may improve, but if not you will need to work with your surgeon for the best resolution based on her assessment.
