How long after umbilical hernia surgery can painful hard scar lumps or sutures be removed? (photos)

Mayo repair of 5mm umbilical hernia 3 years ago, still experiencing chronic pain from the excess scarring and/or sutures. The surgeon who did this won’t help. Can anyone? Can hard lumps of scar or sutures be removed with minimal impact or just disaster? Miscommunication when 4 small Ethibond #1 sutures were used but I thought they would be absorbable. I know it’s not necessary but it would mean a lot to me to have them removed for the principle of proper consent anyways. Non-smoker, Male, 180lb.
