Had to have right implant removed after 2 months due to staph infection. Why does my scar look indented? (Photo)

Asked By:j2763 in Asbury Park, NJ

PS says it will look normal again after my new implant surgery in 3 months or so. It seems to me that because of the position of this scar (it looks almost diagonal) and is not actually in the fold that I will have an indented scar and yet and other issue. I was also told that after the explant surgery it will look just like it did before initial surgery and it does not. I don't feel the proper expectations are being set and I'm being set up for even more dissapointment. What do you think?
