I am 8 days post op and feeling good. However my only real concern is the denting where my incision is. It feels like maybe the stitches are tied to my ribs or something so my implants are not able to Drop? I have viewed many other people's post op pics and have never noticed it. The implants seem to be coming down but the incisions are pushed up and indented. I just am worried about a permanent deformity. Please help!

Answer: Dent at inframammary incision? (Photo) The "dent" may simply be a deeper stitch that will relax with time. Best to ask your operating surgeon so he or she can properly explain to you the technique that he or she used. Good luck!

Answer: Flattened incisions after augmentation can occur with how it was sutured. Surgeons have their routines and some suture the deeper tissue down to the chest wall to minimize bottoming out or migration of your fold downwards. Those that do it, including your own, should be able to provide you the reassurances you desire as they will also be on the hook if it doesn't smooth out with time. So ask your surgeon, focus on healing, and when your photos are done, critique your shape and incision and if still flattened, you should ask your surgeon about fixes.
