7 Weeks Post-Op Breast Lift, Incision is Too Tight, Is there Anything I can do? (photo)

Patry..
I had my breast lift 7 weeks ago and my breast hasn't settling in yet, when I lift my arm my left breast pushes upward and the crease starts from the middle of my breast I don't know if that is normal at 7 weeks, I've been told that is still too early and to wait another 6 weeks for things to change, that breast hasn't settled in 4 weeks. . Is it the dissolvable stitches not dissolving or did the doctor stitched it too tight at the bottom? Is there's anything I can do to speed up the process ?
