What is normal for the skin "puckering" after tummy tuck surgery? (Photo)

LiftAndTuckMesa
I had lung surgery several months ago and the puckering that occurred around the scar is completely gone. I had the mommy makeover 3 weeks ago and wonder how much of the puckering around the scar should there be. Is it normal to have it do that? Will it go smooth once healed? I put bio oil on twice a day.
