Im 4 weeks tummy tuck post op.. My incision scar was pink and raised in a small area on my left side right above my hip. Last night, when massaging it, I put more pressure than usual. This resulted in a small popping sound and the incision area became completely flat within minutes. I didn't hurt at all but what the heck did I do and how much damage did I cause?
