For What Reason Would my PS Want to Lower my Creases After Initial Implants?

I love my results already and i'm only a week out. Yesterday was my 1 week post-op. My PS mentioned lowering my crease. I was just ecstatic to see that my incisions were practically invisible so didn't ask. What is the crease, really? And why would it need to be lowered? I don't have any photos of my chest pre-surgery because it just wasn't pretty. My PS's before photos would help. But i just don't understand what the crease is in general or why it would ever need be lowered.

Doctor wants to lower breast crease
