Why do I have a bump 4 mos. post op tummy tuck? (photos)

e24nr4a9dA9
I noticed a small firm bump forming about 5 wks post op tummy tuck.. just above my navel. Even today, at 4 mos. Post op, if I wear my binder consistently for multiple days the 'bump' isn't noticeable. The more I have my binder off and am active, the more the bump protrudes. It is very firm. Is that consistent with a pseudobursa or just muscle swelling?
