Will the puckering on the bottom edge of my platysma scar flatten out and what is the pocket to the left of my chin? (photos)

vic45
I had a platysmaplasty revision 11 days ago. At day 5 I was told to take down the dressing and the scar had not come together and had formed a wide scab. I contacted the CS and he was going overseas and I saw his partner the same day who sutured it together. I now have puckering on the underside of the scar. Will this flatten? I also have a pocket on left side of my chin. What is this and what can I do about it? I am very self conscious going back to work next week.
