A member asked:

Hi dri am 3 weeks after tah! ovaries not removed. my question is about rolled skin & tummy above incision, will it go away?

Dr. Ricardo Estape answered

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

It should: That roll can be due to swelling that is normal after surgery or it can be from a stitch that hasn't dissolved yet. Once the swelling subsides or the stitch dissolves, it should go away.
