How to get rid of heterogeneous mass after a tummy tuck?

smarquez85
Hi, it's being 3 months post tummy tuck I started having a small lump on the right side of my stomach by the belly button as time went by it got bigger so my PCP sent me to get a CT Scan and it shows that I have intramuscular heterogeneous mass. What exactly causes for this to happen is it normal after a tummy tuck, and what are the steps I need to take to get rid of it?
