I have 2 dips around my incisions on the front of my stomach. They are about the size of golf balls. Anyone have such a thing? If so, do they go away?

I have one about the size of a dime and I had surgery in December. Has not gone away yet.

@kitkat...was it bigger and shrunk over time or has it always been that size?

I have one too! it's pretty annoying & mine hurts the RN at the Dr office told me to bind my stomach. It does help but goes right back to hurting after i take the binder off

I had a couple of dents in my tummy post-op, but they are long gone. I think they were gone by 6 months.

I did and still do and I am almost 8 weeks post op! They aren't as dipped in as they were 2 weeks post op but they are still there.

I have a deep dent in my left side from the internal stitch from the large incision to the muscle. Its suppose to break loose from the muscle from 2-6 weeks and I hope it hurries. I am one of those that have a very tight pull on my stitch and its very painful. I don't know if the big crease will stay or go.

I also have two dents in my stomach. My Dr told me that the healing will cause the incisions to retract as the scar tissue heals. She said they will get better throughout the year and should be gone after 1yr or so. I also have a lump of scar tissue which my Dr said will also get softer after a year.

When i say dent or crease i mean it is well over 2 inches deep. It looks as if a fine wire is being pressed down deeply and the skin on each side is touchy at least 2 inches in. That is the stitch I mentioned. Not all Drs do this stitch and not all patients get one this tight. At 15 days out mine is very painful and every day i wKe up I hope today will be the day it pops. Until then i can't exercise or do much of anything.

Can't see mine anymore if i'm standing, but if i bend over, there is one on the larger upper right scar. It sinks it pretty far. BTW this one was also very sore for a while after surg.
