Puffy incision site

Sorry for the cross post. I wanted to get as much input as I can.

One of my incisions, toward the middle of my abdomen, but not the port site, is puffier than the rest. The doctor said he doesn't think it could be infected since I was on antibiotics up until I left the hospital yesterday. He also said there is nothing under it that could be bulging or anything. Anybody else experience this? I don't have visible staples or stitches. He said he did a plastic surgery type closure, which I'm not sure what that means. This incision is the sorest of them all, but feeling considerably better than yesterday.

My port site incision was the one that bothered me more than the others but none was very painful.

If the improvement doesn't continue then perhaps the surgeon should look at it, just to make sure and to re-assure you.
