Asked By:joz0473 in Hammonton, NJ

I had a tummy tuck 16 weeks ago with muscle repair and no lipo or drains. I have a tightness and what feels like a ball under my skin above belly button. Very sensitive and numb. It gets tighter and more rounded as day progresses. What is it and is it normal? My surgeon is not concerned. Please advise. Thank you
