What might cause this breast indentation & what's required to reshape breasts? (Photos)

Question

Hello I got breast revision last year in December 2021 I had capsular contracture on my right side and after breast feeding I decided it was time to have all fixed. After about 8 months I started to notice an indentation and when pressed, I can feel a little bubbly pocket where the indentation is I’m wondering what might cause this and what it would require to reshape my breasts correctly. Thanks so much!!

I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation.  Changes in shape can be from the muscle, from the implant itself or from capsular contracture.  Your surgeon should be able to provide more information after an examination.

Hello, thank you for your question. Its difficult to say exactly what that is. I would speak to your plastic surgeon for an in person assessment. It is possible that the breast implants maybe sitting to high and your breast tissue falls below that. Its possible you may have another capsular contracture, without a full physical examination, there is no direct answer. thank you

Dear shay6281,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You are feeling your implant that has pushed through you tissue. Do avoid pushing your breasts in to create more cleavage. This can be repaired if needed.
