my car is about a month old too, im 220 pound and got around 800 miles on the car, doesnt have that "dent" look alike on the leather seat. might as well go to dealer and ask for them since im sure your car is under warrenty.

use a hairdryer... dont get the seat too hot, just warm- go in circles.
the heat will actually shrink the leather.
go slow, and check it periodically.
and post back how it goes!

they'll prolly make you feel stupid regardless... ppl in the dealerships can be such dicks... dont worry too much about the seat, i've had that denty lookin thing in my seat since i sat in the car and i'm only 150 lbs... usually goes away after a couple days of me not sitting on it... maybe my car's tryna tell me i'm fat

Use wanabe's advice and try the hairdryer method.

I also find that spraying a liberal amount of leather cleaner and leather conditioner and wiping them down with microfiber towels also help to take those dents away.

I dont have a solution but maybe something to think about for the future. Put you wallet in the glove box or the little thing infront of the passenger seat like I do mine. To me it appears that was caused by your wallet. my .02

Rule #1 of being a wash & wax wacko . . .

1. Never take your car to your dealership for cosmetic issues unless they are replacing the part.

If they offer to "fix" it then run for the hills. Chances are they'll likely make things worse.
