Will this resolve over time? (Photo)

I am 5 weeks post op. I have two deep pleats that create a pouch in my low belly and a ridge going up toward breast line. My surgeon says its looking good and that the pleats will go away around month 3. He isnt sure what has created the ridge of soft looser skin on my left though I think it has do with the pleats as that one is much deeper than the other. I see other tummy tuck pics at 1 montg where things seem much flatter and smooth and it makes me nervous.
