Breast crease extends too far after breast reduction. How can it be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:Phenomenal150874 in Atlanta, Georgia

I am about 3 1/2 months post-breast reduction, and I have found that the crease underneath my breast now extends rather far onto the side of my ribs towards my armpit, noticeably farther than it did before my surgery. I can't wear backless clothing because this crease now appears visible and makes me look rather dumpy and my breasts appear saggy from the side under clothing, which they don't appear saggy from the front. Could this just be some persistent swelling? How can it be fixed?
