Normal lump: The lump is mst likely a "healing ridge" which is a construction site of repair which will dsappear in the next couple of months. It s a good sign of healing.

Possible: Likely a suture knot- if the lump is small and was there since surgery. If it is new since surgery, gets bigger and hurts when you cough or stain, it may be a hernia. You should check in with your surgeon.

Your surgeon: Your surgeon can tell you better than anyone else. Make sure it's not a hernia. Good luck.
