Will lumpiness of MOHS surgery scar on cheek eventually flatten out?

rustygal
I am just shy of three weeks post MOHS surgery for removal of a squamous cell carcinoma in situ from my right cheek. The incision has healed, but there is lumpiness and tiny indents along the 1" long incision. Also, feels like there is raised hard tissue underneath the incision. Will this lumpiness go away eventually? Anything else I can do now, such as massaging the scar to help flatten it?
