Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It would be advisable or you to get an ultrasound scan over the surgical wound area. This will give information of any infection inside and if there is pus formation. The scar tissue formation can also be evaluated. Sine it is over 10 weeks old, you might consider a second opinion and swab culture of the wound area. If there is positive growth of bacteria, a course of antibiotics is necessary.
Hope this helps
