Is This What I'm Left With? Dog Ears or Swelling and Will This Go Away on Its Own? (photo)

ImTheKing01
I am 20 years old and 8 weeks out of surgery. I lost 100 lbs a few years ago and go a tummy tuck in the beginning of the summer. My results are not bad at all, the only thing I'm hating is the ends of my incision. Could this be possible swelling still or are these dog ears? I'm going back to school soon and wont have time to see my PS again until Thanksgiving and I was hoping for the best and just having this be swelling and not dog ears.
