Firmness around incision lines under breast is much more firm at 5 weeks. Surgeon says it's scar tissue. Opinions? (photos)

I am 5 weeks out of breast reduction and lift. Yesterday I noticed that my incision lines under my breast (the outer scars) have become very hard. The left breast, which has healed slower, is more firm, and it feels like a bit of a lump on one area of the incision. The right side also has firmness in that same area. I called my surgeons office and they said it’s likely scar tissue and suggested massaging with aquafor. I’d like a second opinion on this. and if I should insist on being seen.
