I feel a hard line running from a little under my breasts to my navel, is that my muscle repair? Is that normal?

Your description does sound like the muscle repair in the midline with firm scar tissue currently. This usually will soften somewhat over time. Fortunately it is not painful and has not affected you outcome.

This sounds like the muscle repair.  It should not be a specific concern if all you feel is hardness in the area.

I agree with others that this does represent the muscle repair site and that it will most likely improve. However, how much it will improve may be related to the type of suture that was used to perform the muscle tightening. The reason for mentioning this is that I have noticed more softening of this area if dissolvable suture was used as opposed to permanent suture. Not a lot of difference, but just a little. The other thing that affects how easy it is to feel the line is how thin you are... so the thinner you are the more you will feel this line.This concludes my hard line on your hard line. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

That does sound like your muscle repair though it is unusual for this to be able to be felt.  However, if you have a very thin upper abdominal flap, either from being thin to begin with or from liposuction) then this could be present.  At 7 months, I don't know that this will go away.  At least there is no associated pain.Have a good weekend and take care.

Hello and thank you for asking your question. The line you feel is likely the fascia plication (muscle repair) your surgeon performed. Swelling of the overlying skin can take quite a few months to resolve and that's why you probably didn't notice it before. Whether or not it will persist is unknown. For some patients is smooths out and for others it will always be there. Make sure you contact your surgeon when he is available so that he can examine you and confirm that is what you feel.Take care and enjoy your new tummy!
