Dent in Cleavage, Both Breasts. What is It? (photo)
Currently 8 days post op. dent appeared roughly 5 days in. Cant be felt when lying down. The area feels flat as opposed to rounded like the rest of the breast. Is this due to over stretched skin and part of the healing stage? I note my PS aimed to "close" my cleavage gap, as i had a wide gap preop. Very frustrating as i havent found any similar cases. Implants were 390cc anatomical unders silicone

Dents Due To Release of Muscle Fibers
Thany you for your question and photos. The dents you are noticing are from release of the muscle fibers medially to accomodate the implants. This should improve significantly with time. Discuss this concern with your surgeon further. Good luck on your recovery.

Indention of the medial breast following a breast augmentation
You are very early in the healing process. This could be a temporary problem. I would suggest massaging the implants pushing them in toward the midline. Other possible causes could be an incomplete release of the muscle fibers in the lateral sternal area. Some individuals have accessory fibers of the pectoralis muscle that need to be released in this area. I many cases the muscle is released from the 7:00 to the 5:00 position. Above this area...

Denting medial breasts after breast augmentation
It is important to emphasize that you are 8 days post op. This is so early in the post op period that you cannot judge this area. The most likely cause would be a contour irregularity in the pocket due to muscle fibers. These may or may not settle out with time but your ps was trying to give you more cleavage. This is a very difficult area to get 100% accurate. However, as mentioned..wait several months and if this does not settle down to your satisfaction, then...

Contour irregularities of the breast eight days after breast augmentation are not uncommon.
The picture demonstrates some medial contour irregularities. These would be of concern several months after the operation. After a few weeks let alone a few days swelling in the surrounding tissues most likely explains the problem.

Cleavage irregularities after silicone anatomical breast implants under the muscle augmentation
I recommend that you speak to your board certified Plastic Surgeon. Only he or she knows your anatomy that was seen at the time if your augmentation surgery. It may represent where the pectoralis muscle was dissected. Good luck

Dent in Cleavage
These indentations appear to be from slips of pectoral muscles where they insert into the sternum (breastbone).
As the capsule forms around the implant, it may well be that these become less noticeable or unnoticeable. In the meantime, continuing with massage may help.
Thank you for your question, all the best.

Dent in cleavage
Thanks for your inquiry, I think you are seeing the edge of the muscle fibers. Sometimes there are two rows of origins of the muscle in that location. It is very early and should expect improvement over time. Please be seeing your plastic surgeon regularly to discuss.

Dent in cleavage
Thanks for your question and pictures. It is possible that not enough muscle was released towards the chest bone and the implant is not able to fill that area out as well as the rest of the breast. An exam would help answer the question best.

Dent in cleavage
It seems due to the muscle... if it changes with animation and flattens more, sure that it is the cause for that dent. Anyway you will have to leave time to determine how it evolves.

Dent after 8 days post-breast augmentation surgery
The dent you are showing may be related to the muscle medially. It is important to examine the area to be sure. It would be interesting to see if this changes with animation.

Dent in cleavage after breast enlargement
This appears to be very small folds on the surface of the implants, compounded possibly by lack of soft tissue cover as you appear quite slim.
It is too early to worry as your breasts will settle over the next few months and things will change. If this remains a long term problem, the options could be a small amount of fat graft to fill the dents, a revision (obviously not a great option) or even gaining a little bit of weight to mask the dent.
If you are still concerned after six...

Dent 8 days after Breast Augmentation
Are you feeling the implant? Did you have very little tissue to start? Does the area change with muscle contraction? I am not sure I can answer this one effectively without an exam. Please see your surgeon for a better answer.

Dents between breasts
It appeared that the pocket in the inner sides (medial sides) need to be released more. You can try to massage and push the implants closer together. However, it generally will require reoperation to get better results.
