How to Fix New Dimple After Full Tummy Tuck?

bebejuicypink
I had a full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair with hip Liposuction three weeks ago. There were two drainage tubes on my pubic mound and got removed one week post-op.My right side where the drainage tube was is creating a dimple-like depression (sinkhole)and would like to know how to fix this before it becomes permanent. It looks rather deforming to my pubic structures.
