Can an indentation on my breast due to a sports bra be corrected? (Photos)

hollygolightly29
Breasts were fine & nicely rounded 1 week post op after breast aug. I was then instructed to wear a sports bra 2nd week post op. Week 3 post op, I developed indentations. I’ve tried massaging, but it pushes the indentations in more. I developed blue veins on the indentations. Will veins go away in time? I’m 4.5 weeks post op. My surgeon also said this is not a double bubble/bottoming out. Is there anything I can do to rectify this indentation? What are the recourses? Can breast tissue reform?
