What is this indent on right vertical anchor lift scar? Plus uneven nipples.

I had a breast life with implants done 8 months ago (6/30/18). On my right breast I have an indent where the stitches were from the anchor lift (vertical). How long does it typically take for this to even out? I'm hoping as it evens out that implant will drop a little more to help bring that nipple higher so it can be more even with my left nipple. Is this something that typically can get better with time or would a revision be needed?
