Is this much pleating after a breast lift normal? (Photos)

Asked By:jjjjj555 in Anaheim, CA

11 days post op (lift and explant - no implant now). I’m concerned about the extensive pleating. The surgeon’s nurse said that it is normal, but in scanning the many photos on this site posted by women during their recoveries I don’t see anything that looks like this. Will it smooth out over time, or am I likely to need a revision?
