there is showing how i can make it look like normal, flat skin.
I think i am still a little bit swollen but not alot at all, i still wear my binder.
I really hope it flattens out, anyone who had a similar problem and knows what will happen? thanks

Thank you very much, so it is possible for it to correct itself, which is nice.  By "revision" you mean another surgical procedure but very minor and much less expensive id hope.

From the photos, it appears as if you underwent a modified abdominoplasty and not a full tummy tuck (there appears to be no scar about your belly button).  In an effort to avoid a lateral dog ear, your closure was advanced centrally, leaving the vertical midline fold. If this situation does not resolve in the next three or four months, then a revision could be undertaken to correct the problem.
