Seroma vs recurrence: 11 weeks after surgery this lump could be a recurrence of the hernia or a seroma(fluid collection )that will resolve on its own if you can push it back it is a hernia..

It worthwhile to have surgeon checked it out with more detailed Hx and physical examination soon.

Had a small umbilical hernia repair (no mesh) done a month ago. The lump above my belly button is still kind of squishy, like it was pre-surgery.
