I am 6 weeks post op full tummy tuck. My incision is pretty well healed but I'm noticing these streaks going up and down along the incision. Everywhere there is significant discoloration, I can feel a lump under the skin. I had spitting stitches on my breast and I have the same discoloration where the stitches were/are. So I'm wondering if this is a reaction to the sutures? Why would the discoloration be getting worse? Would silicone help with discoloration?
