Lump under one incision

I am two weeks and 2 days post op. Started back to work on Monday. I am feeling pretty good, I make it through the day not hurting and am getting in protein and fluids. Monday night I noticed a lump under one of my incisions. It is quite palpable. I have an appt with my surgeon this morning for him to look at it. But I was wondering if any one else had this? It is not flat feels more like a chestnut. Kinda roundish feeling.

      It could be scar tissue forming or a small infection starting. Best to have it checked out to be sure. Okay!

    I have heard several people talk about having a lump under their incisions, I'm not sure how big they were, I'm sure you are fine!

    Yep. I have one still after 11 months but it's getting smaller now. Feels like a mosquito bite sometimes. Probably a bit of scar tissue. Worth having it checked tho if its a concern.

    I have that on the one where my drain was located. It's just scar tissue which isn't a surprise since I tend to keloid.

    I had a small bump under the edge of one incision. No pain, no redness, just a bump. 4 months post-op, it's gone. I did some occasional massage with coconut oil off and on once I was healed and that may/may not have helped. I'm fair skinned, 47, and scar easily.

    Good for you getting it checked out - better to be safe than sorry!
