Raised skin/new stretch marks after tummy tuck. (Photos)

Luckyshiva77
I am 6 weeks post op from my tt. I developed a small seroma that seems to be healing nicely. However, I also noticed a raised area with new stretch marks on my middle lower tummy. Im wondering what this is! Its not liquid filled like the seroma was. Is it some kind of scar tissue? Or was it perhaps caused by adding extra compression with pads of gauze just to the side of it on the seroma site? My Dr thinks its a normal part of the healing but Im not too sure. Any ideas or suggestions?
