What is the bulge above my belly button after tummy tuck?

Asked By:meagnash in Buford, GA

I had a tummy tuck done in July of this year. Everything is healing well but in the passed two months the what I assume is muscle above my belly button stays hard. It used to get hard then go away but now it's like the muscle is a bulge right above the belly button and when I lay down and then sit up and use muscles I feel the bulge but it doesn't hurt. Is this normal and does it go away?
