10 months post-op from breast augmentation
Without seeing your before and after pictures it is impossible to give you a recommendation. I recommend either posting pictures or speak with your PS about these concerns.

Dents
Impossible to say without a photo or without seeing you in person. Since they were present before surgery, they were not caused by the surgery, but since you are planning a lift I believe this area may be treated by that procedure.

Dents after breast augmenation
It is difficult to say what those dnets represent without seeing photos or examinng you in person. If it is at a scar it maybe able to be revised.

Dents after breast augmentation
Dear Kat, sorry you're having this problem. We see this occasionally after a periareolar breast aug. Without photos it makes it a little more difficult but certainly a lift, if thats what you need will correct the problem. If you really don't need a lift then sometimes a simple scar revision will help, which can even be done under local. Dicsuss this with your plastic surgeon. Good luck from Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton.

Need photos
Unfortunately without photos it is difficult to say that a lift would be of benefit to you. PLease supply photos so that we can see where you are at this point.
