I had DIEP flap surgery a year ago and a bulge along my incision line that swells

I have had a CT and not a hernia but they did not scar tissue from prior surgeries. Lymphdema massage and compression is not solving the problem and do not know what to do. Can you help me. By the end of the day, I look like I am 6 months pregnant and uncomfortable.
