Round harder area around incision

One week post op. I have noticed a rounded hard area around my largest incision. The one where they pull out your no longer needed tummy. Should I worry about this?

I freaked out and thought it was a tumor or an abscess or something else. Don't google. Google gives you cancer.

Seriously though... mine went away after 2 or 3 weeks. It was freaky. But it went away. Doc said it was normal and made me promise to stop Googling.

I never had that with this surgery , but sounds like some scar tissue with healing. I have had many other surgeries.

 yep, it's probably just scar tissue. Doc said not to worry!

 Thank you all... Phew!!!! So grateful for this website

Im one week post op too and was also scared. I called my dr he said its,normal not to worry unless fluid came out.

The  larger incision is  usually where  they took tummy out,  and  they  put a few stiches to pull together on inside.  and  it  pulls more  but  my  doctor  told me  other  day  after 6 weeks  they disolve  and  you  will not  notice, the muscles  then relax  down  again.

it's definitely probably scar tissue....but keep an eye out for drainage. I had a hard knot under my biggest incision and it started draining a lot and it turned out to be a seroma. Which basically they drained and now they're packing the wound each day so it'll heal back. Not a huge deal but inconvenient.
