Answer: Could I Have Popped a Stitch?
Best to be examined by your surgeon in a timely manner. Very hard over the internet to diagnose your issue.

Answer: Could I Have Popped a Stitch
There are a number of possible explanations for the appearance in this photo, and the correct one will not be determined online, but will require an examination by your surgeon.
Incomplete list includes:
Breakdown of the muscle repair is a possibility (as in popped a stitch)
Hernia
Seroma or hematoma
Fat necrosis
residual fat not removed.
Do make an appointment to see your surgeon for diagnosis and treatment plan. All the best.
