Fold/flap of skin on my hip after Tummy Tuck? (Photo)

Sun6
I had a tummy tuck 1.5 years ago (after two twin pregnancies). While I am happy with my overall results, there is this fold, or flap of skin on my hip that is driving me crazy. There is also a minor bulging effect under my incision, but only on the same side as my fold/flap. I am wondering what this fold is. I am worried that my surgeon did not remove all the excess skin off of my hip. What does this look like it is, and could it be revised as an in office procedure? Thanks so much!!!
