Here's some progress on the de-creasing. Still needs additional de-creasing for the higher x-rotation angles, but that's mostly hidden in this render.

There's a good chance you won't get a significant improvement. At least not without messing something else up. I tried and tried with Nova but her topology there just wants to have a strong crease, I've had better results with far more unlikely figures. Just to play along here's an incomplete JCM set on Nova. Preview. I put a painted thong on her for modesty. And forgive the hand clipping, a tricky pose to do without IK or Pose Symmetry (neither work on Nova), I got tired of fussing with it. The creasing is still pretty evident even with a ton of smoothing and flattening. I just chalked it up to best effort. Oh, and ignore the GrabAss parm group, that's for something else.
