Knot/Bump above belly button getting bigger? (Photo)

Modest369
I had a tummy tuck 2 years ago and I have a knot above my belly button that seems to be getting bigger. It is a little tender. I’m guessing it’s either a small umbilical hernia or an umbilical Granuloma although I have no oozing of any kind. My ct scan is scheduled for next month to find out what it is. If it is either of these 2 things above how is the procedure performed and how much recovery time will I need? Thank you !
