5 weeks post tt, today. While massaging my scar with Vitamin E, I felt several pops. I was left feeling a bit tender in places, almost like I will be a bit bruised, tomorrow. Was this scar tissue or were these internal incision stitches and if they were stitches, is 5 weeks passed the point of worry, if the stitches were to pop?

Answer: Scar massage Thank you for your question. You are likely correct that the popping or lumps you are feeling are sutures. Scar massage should be very gentle and does not require firm pressure. You should be ok at 5 weeks but would discuss further with your surgeon. Best wishes on your recovery.

Answer: I feel popping when I massage my scar. Hi, Tshmmr. If you were feeling popping while massaging along your scar, you were feeling the sutures under the skin. Usually there are couple layers of sutures under the skin. At 5 weeks, your incisions should be healed and should be safe to masage. Good luck with your continued recovery.
