Deep scar indentations after a lollipop reduction. How long does it take for all internal sutures to dissolve? (Photo)

Reallyhurts
Aesthetically my breasts look O.K. However underneath my breasts,the indentations are deep and painful.i can feel the odd suture. I'am massaging twice daily. Which actually makes me nauseous,as it feels Ugly. I have returned for two revisions. My P.S does not appear perturbed by the pain and scar indents. He says all sutures are dissolvable and this problem will correct itself. I don't think so? How long does it take for all internal sutures to dissolve? Do I need a revision as I think I do.
