How Long Before the Lumpiness Behind the Scar Line Goes Down?

Asked By:Bristol5251 in Bristol

Hello, I had breast surgery 2 weeks ago and the scar line is very neat however it is very lumpy behind the scar inside the breast. Is this just internal stitches which will go down after they disolve? Thanks
