Why is There a Lump Line in my Upper Abdomen? (Photo)

You are very early in the recovery process and as the swelling subsides, your results will change.  You will see your final results many months down the line.

It is difficult to see what you are describing in the photo posted but I recommend that you keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon so that he/she can determine if recovery is going as it should be.

Best wishes.

Their number of things that could cause the issue presented the photograph. Most will resolve with no treatment. A small seroma can be aspirated in the office.

Hello there

I think this is just a line of tension from the tightening of skin and muscle wall during the surgery . You are very early after surgery and these things usually resolve over the next few months .

You have fairly severe stretch marks in the skin around the belly button . A stretch mark is a rupture in the dermis , the elastic layer of the skin . As such the skin doesn't have normal elasticity and doesn't shrink back as quickly or as well . However you are so early post-surgery that you have an excellent chance of further improvement .

Cheers
