Solid lump one year after tummy tuck - could this be scar tissue? (Photo)

zombie kat
I had my tummy tuck a year ago and this lump started surfacing. I went to my surgeon and he thought it may be a cyst because it seemed a bit squishy and slightly moveable. He inserted a needle into the lump to try and extract any fluids but it was solid. He prescribed antibiotics and wants to see me in two weeks and he said he wanted to make a small incision underneath it and try and pull out whatever it is. Do you have any ideas what this lump could be? Maybe scar tissue?
