Breast augmentation incision puckering, 8 days post op. Is this normal? (Photos)

zailyjomolca1
I had breast augmentation surgery 8 days ago and today they removed my strips. The scar looks bad to me, as if its pluckering or "sticking out", as if the skin is folded. I asked the nurse and she said its fine. Will this go away and will the scar be flatten out with time? Is there something wrong? Is there something I can do? This is my second time getting a breast augmentation, first time was 3 years ago. Got another augmentation to get bigger implants (from 230 cc to 430 cc now)
