I Have an Indention in my Tummy Tuck Scar Above my Pubic Area.

I agree with your surgeon that waiting for revision is a good idea - I usually ask my patients to allow the scar to fully mature and relax (1 year) before considering revisionary surgery.  As for the revision being included in the finances that you have paid depends on the office policy.  

Indentations that occur just above the pubic bone following tummy tuck occur for two reasons:

1) The skin around the old belly button gets pulled done toward the pubic bone. This area is usually lacking the same amount of fat that exists elsewhere under the abdominal skin.

2) Too much fat is removed in the area that the "old belly button" skin gets relocated to, and/or this area is not reconstructed adequately. This will leave an indentation once everything heals.

This can all be corrected with fat grafting. However, it is more challenging to repair than most people think.

Indentation in the area you described could be because of several factors, none of which will affect the quality of your tummy tuck.  If the indentation is small, it is certainly worth waiting for the wounds to heal because as you go throught the healing process your wounds will change somewhat and you may find that you don't need anything done in a few months.  If the indentation is very significant and it is obvious that as you heal this will not change, it may make sense to repair this earlier.  First your surgeon will have to determine what the problem is.  A tight suture?  Area that is missing some fat? Something else?  Based on the underlying problem he can fix it for you.  If you are overall happy with your results and your surgeon, be patient and trust your surgeon to take care of you.
