My PS Says my Scar Has a "Speed Bump" Effect. Has Anyone Ever Heard of This?

I just had a TT 10 days ago. MY TT scar was closed with glue and using a "Speedbump" techinique where the skin looks like it was sutured underneath above and below the scar line. There is a upraised Bump from hip to hip. Is this normal? My PS says it will eventually go away and the incision will be nice and thin? It just looks so bad right now and Its depressing. Ive been trying to find out any info on this on the internet and I can't find any. My PS says to have faith. Am I just worrying too much?
