How to Tell if It's Swelling or Dog Ears After a Tummy Tuck?

I had a tummy tuck 13 days ago. I am very concerned about the 2 ends of my incision the are very swollen and tender and a little hard. Is this what is reffered to as Dog Ears? Will this correct on its own, if not what can be done to correct it? or is it too soon to tell?
