Scar Tethering Fixable? (photo)

i had my implants removed. orginal site was tuba, so dr placed new incisions for removal. she placed them much higher than my creases stating it would keep my bras from irritating the scars, but one is placed very high onto my breast and is now tethering inwards. is this fixable with scar revision or will it get better with time? implants were removed 6 days ago. i am devastated as breasts would look great if scars were properly placed. she denies they are too high.
