Rolls after tummy tuck normal? 3 weeks post op. (photos)

Danirae232
I am wondering if this is normal that when I bend forward I get this dimple about an inch above my belly button and kinda a roll, would this indicate that the muscle repair in my upper abdomen didn’t hold? Or is it just some fat that I can burn off? Also I’m wondering about the kinda rolls I have on my sides that I never noticed much prior to my surgery, again is this just extra fat that I need to work off? I am 3 weeks post op, will my sides ever really be smooth?
