Creased/pleated tummy tuck scar. (photo)

shampayne74
I'm a little concerned with the pleated/creased appearance of my incision. My surgeon says that it should flatten or smooth out as it heals but I haven't seen many photos that look like mine. Well it really smooth out our will I have to have some revision done?
