I had a bilateral mastopexy. I’m about a week out & noticed on my left breast I have a slight indent down the center. (Photo)

Question

i also have some indent like a double crease towards the middle of my breasts on the underside. Not sure if this is normal or will fix itself.

Hi ericasewade, I understand your concern. The suture lines often appear like this after breast surgery but will eventually even out as your incisions heal. Make sure to follow your plastic surgeon's post operative instructions on proper wound care for faster healing and recovery. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Dear ericasewade, You do have a notched lower pole. This is not unusual early on as you clearly are.  Don't worry, it will go away.  You were not sewn too tight, rather straight line closures like that tend to get notched because of natural pull.  It will get better with time as your tissues relax.  Very occasionally I had to correct this problem and the last time I had to I did it with fat grafting.  It worked wonderfully.  Make your doctor aware of this feature next time you visit him/her.
