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

Asked By:Kh216 in New Jersey

My PS is not available now to answer my question. I am 7 months post-op from an extended tummy tuck with MR and had no complications. I am not in any pain but I feel a hard line (down the center of my stomach) that runs from a little under my breast to my navel. It's not extending or protruding.Is that my muscle repair?, it doesn't hurt but it feels strange. Thank you for taking time to answer my question.
