Wrinkles in leather seats

My friend has a Mustang GT and one of his larger friends has been riding with him lately and now there are pressure marks and wrinkles on the sides of the seat. He has tried leather conditioner, but it doesn't seem to help. What can he do to get the wrinkles out? Would applying heat work to help stretch it out?

I told him to use the leather conditioner and use a hairdryer. Can anyone else shed some light of this for me?

Once wrinkles form, theres no getting them out. You can mask them though, I have heard that leatherique has collagen in it and that masks them.

Where can this be purchased and how much does it cost?

I told my friend to leave his car in the heat, and it actually worked. His seats are almost back to normal.

They'll be back, rest assured. The wrinkles are now weakened areas which arent going away.
Ya know what else? Live with them! Its part of the natural break in process, if it is truly leather.

That's what I have told him, his car won't be perfect forever. The seats will get wrinkles in them, it's leather.
