Tummy tuck 5 weeks post op and my hips have an indentation. Will they even out? (photos)

AbbyIina
Hello, i was hoping to get a second opinion on my results. It’s been 5 weeks after TT with lipo to tummy, flanks and back. Im still swollen around waist esp. from back. I had a tiny circle of necrosis and 1 week ago at center of incision, my PS debrided it and now it has closed and has a brownish scab on it. Im worried about my hips they are indented- upper part is tight and lower at level of incision is softer. PS told me its because he pulled everything very tight. Will it even out? Thank you
