Hello for the last two days I have developed a hard lump on my tummy tuck incision . I am three months postop surgery was July 7, 2017 .it is on my right hand side and when I move it has a pain to it. Also lately it been feeling warm to the touch. It's about 2 inches big and very hard and it's right in my scarline from tummy tuck. It's not squishy or liquidy,it's hard with sharp pinching pains. What is this? A cyst? Fibrosis?

Answer: What is this hard lump? Surgeons often place deep sutures under the skin to help hold the incision together and relieve tension. It is possible that one of these sutures has developed an infection and might need to be removed, especially given the hardness, redness, warmth and pain, which are all signs of infection. It would be best if you could follow up with your surgeon this week so he or she can take a look and remove the stitch if necessary. Best of luck with your continued recovery!
