Mass underneath incision site



Recommended Posts

Today I woke up with a small mass near my left side incision site? Has anyone else encountered this? What did they do about it?

I have only one incision in my belly button that has a small mass. My surgeon checked it and said it was fine. He had me cough etc to make sure it wasn't a hernia. Everything looked good to him. Have your surgeon check it... but it's probably normal.

I had that. My surgeon calls it "ridging" and said it's Fluid built up and it will dissipate. Mine was nearly gone by my 6 week checkup but was there from week 3

I called the office today as I was extremely concerned. They said that as long as it wasn't red or leaking it would probably be a Fluid bubble built up. Did it hurt you to move around in any way?

It didn't hurt and in fact I only found it because I was trying to stop my belly from itching!
