I still have a hard lump of scar tissue and a puffy nipple. Being 8 weeks post, is this close to as good as it gets? (photo)

8 weeks post op. Scar tissue still above and under nipple. Incision scar is causing nipple to 'sit' on the skin rather than look natural. See photos. Currently massaging twice and using serum on incision scars to soften. Concerned this is how my nipple will now forever sit or in people's experience once the scar tissue resides and incision scars soften my nipple should start looking more natural. Back to wearing vest through night also. Or being 8 weeks this is close to as good as it gets?
