Hello! I had a panniculectomy 6yrs ago. Everything went well, and I'm pleased with the results. A few months ago I noticed a lump under one side of the end of my scar. It doesn't hurt unless I touch or feel around it too much. I visited my pcp yesterday. He believes it could be an incisional hernia. He said it could be scar tissue but commented he thought that would be on both sides and it isn't. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound in 3wks. What do you think it might be?
