I removed the tape from my incision and noticed some uneven healing on the sides. Will this go away? (Photo)

I am 9 days post op. I went in at day 6 and got more tape out over the incision. I was instructed to take the tape off today. After removing the tape I've noticed some uneven healing on the sides. It seems like a ledge above the incision and a couple of bumps. Will this go away??
