Will the skin smooth out after tummy tuck? (Photo)

Molly_c
I am 4 week post TT. I noticed on the left side the there is a bulge over the incision. Will this smooth out? I know it's swollen (no fluid), but you can see a distinct separation of skin. Looking forward to a flatter tummy, not a lumpy one! Thank you.
