Why do I have indents on my chest after gynecomastia surgery? (Photos)

Awesome3630
I'm a little over 10 months post-op on my gynecomastia surgery. I had gland removal. For the most part healing has gone fine, but whenever I move certain ways, put my hands behind my back, or flex, you can see these weird indents, almost like bands of tissue all across my pecs. Is this scar tissue? Swelling? Will it go away on its own or will i need another surgery ? My areola looks weird. Please tell me how it looks to you.
