10 days post surgery and have had an uneventful recovery so far. Today I've noticed that all around my incision scar its particularly swollen and is sore to touch and is becoming very bruised. Is this a normal part of the healing process? I have been seeing my surgeon regularly and only yesterday he checked my tummy for any fluid build up or blood clots and he was happy that there wasn't either but the bruising and mega swelling only started today. The skin isn't red and my scar has healed well.
