What is causing a flat spot on the lower side of my breast? (Photo)

I appreciate your question.

It is possible that it is one of the sutures that was used to close the pocket after your breast augmentation.  Please contact your surgeon to make him/her aware.  They may want you to come in for evaluation.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

It is mostly likely a stitch. Massage it gently. Hopefully, it will resolve on its own. If not, see your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Based on the location in the pictures, it most likely is a stitch. This will usually resolve with time.You may gently massage over the area a couple of times a day to speed this along.If the area remains after six weeks, discuss the finding with your plastic surgeon.

The most likely cause of the depression is one of the sutures that was used to close the pocket after your breast augmentation. Fortunately these are almost always absorbable sutures, and the issue should resolve spontaneously as the suture resorts. Gentle downward pressure on your implant in the meantime may help speed the process. Follow up with your plastic surgeon if the area does not resolve.

Hello,I believe it is being caused by sutures that closed your inframammary incision.  These sutures are always absorbable, and that flat spot will be gone in a month or two. Your very large implants will round your inframammary fold out nicely with time.Best of luck!

your bra may have been the reason, but it appears as though there may be a stitch internally that is causing this depression. As your swelling has come down since surgery it now may become more noticeable. I would not worry about it often the sutures are absorbable and within the next couple months it should round out nicely without any intervention.Good luck!

The "flat spot" may be due to compression from the bra or scar tissue.Please follow up with your plastic surgeon to be evaluated in-person.Best regards.

Your area of concern could be related to wearing your bra too tightly. However, I would suggest that you go back to your surgeon and be checked.

The cause of lateral breast indentation can be multiple. This can easily corrected with fat grafting that can be done in the office. Please make a consultation to provide you details.

It is hard to tell from the photos alone without an examination.  So see your surgeon and be evaluatedDr Corbin
