Caved in??

Yet, another question from me....I have noticed in the last month or 2 that my incision site seems to be a bit more caved in than it was before, running along the whole incision line.  Maybe it is just that the swelling finally went down with what they did.  Just wondering if anyone else had noticed the same thing.  Feels so odd!   My decompression surgery was November 5th.

Thank you :)

Mine has started to cave in too! My surgery was 12/21/12. The NS said it looked fine.

  Mine feels like a V...goes down in the center of the incision...not sure if it is typical or "normal" ....but mine was more rounded soon after I had it, this may be how it heals?
