Maybe: It's really difficult to determine if it's normal healing without examining in person. If it gets worse and worse prior to your follow up appointment, i would get it checked sooner or go to the er after hours.

Maybe: It is normal for the area under an incision to get hard for the first couple weeks. If the skin is red, have your surgeon check it out asap. It could be an infection.
