Suggest Remedy For Bulge Above Scar Post Surgery

I had open hernia surgery a week ago on my abdomin. there is a large bulge above the scar (almost like the stitches were pulled too tightly upwards) and it is hard. the dr said the swelling should go down in a wk and it should heal flat. i am worried it will heal this way & looks awful. is this normal? there are internal stitches and he used an adhesive for the outside
