A member asked:

I am 5 day post-op following a mini-lap surgery. my incision is not flat. some parts seem to be slightly raised and swollen. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ok: Here are some reasons that should be checked by your surgeon such as fluid or blood accumulation ( seroma or hematoma) but it most likely nothing to be concerned about. Make sure you are not wearing pants, band or belt just below the scar which may cause the area to swell
