Yes: We call this the "healing ridge". Should be gone by 6-8 weeks. If you're really concerned however, call your surgeon for an exam.

Seroma: That hard lump could just be a benign fluid collection. Just to be on the safe side see your surgeon.

Yes: Early on there is nl induration that occurs as the part of healing. This generally resolves with time. Any concerns see the surgeon.
