Yes. The scar contraction can occur for few weeks after the procedure. However, if this pain is severe, and or accompanied with dull more whole abdomen like pain, or associated with symptoms such as constipation and or blood on stool presentation, you may need to worry about surgical complications. I would call the surgeon's office who performed this procedure and ask their advise just to be safe; and have multiple medical opinions. Warm Regards :)
