11wks post op, the swelling is going but the mound looks large & cone shaped. an ultrasound scan showed there's still inflammation on my right side under the scar, also in the middle there's a larger area of scar tissue, could this be what is making the mound look more prominent? is the tummy suppose to go in just before the scar then back out for the mound? also on the other photo, is this what is called a dog ear? I still think the button looks too high :/ im pleased the overhang has gone now
