Do you mean like the overhang?

I’m not sure but to me it feels like swelling/ puffiness in the area like the feeling of swelling if you rolled your ankle

Ahh, mines similar too at 4.5m

could it be a keloid?

Hi! It’s my actual skin/ stomach above the scar rather than the actual scar! Like a permanent bloat 🥲

ok maybe I just need to be a bit more patient then 🤞🏼

It’s possible it’s just the over hang. Have you been doing scar massages and what not to help break apart scar tissue. It’ll probably continue to stay sore and all that for a while but you’ll most likely have the over hang for a while. So just slowly start to work at your core

Are you able to send a picture of it (if you don't mind? "

I'm 10 months and I get swelling still in my abdomen, it's internal so I can feel it but you can't necessarily see it, it's always worst after a workout
