	I had a crease incision and noticed the dents before surgery, but were located directly beneath nipple, now are underneath. Worse when laying down.

Did you have the implants placed through a peri-areolar incision? It&rsquo;s difficult to comment without more information. It sounds like the areola is being pulled in by scarring if it looks dented in. There are ways to improve this surgically. A lift would not automatically address this, but it can be corrected at the same time as your lift. Make sure you discuss this with your surgeon beforehand, so that he or she can not only correct it, but also use techniques to try to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Unfortunately without photos it is difficult to say that a lift would be of benefit to you.  PLease supply photos so that we can see where you are at this point.

Jeffrey M. Hartog, DMD, MD · Answer

Without seeing your before and after pictures it is impossible to give you a recommendation.  I recommend either posting pictures or speak with your PS about these concerns.

Ralph R. Garramone, MD · Answer

Impossible to say without a photo or without seeing you in person.  Since they were present before surgery, they were not caused by the surgery, but since you are planning a lift I believe this area may be treated by that procedure.

	Thank you for your question

It is difficult to say what those dnets represent without seeing photos or examinng you in person.  If it is at a scar it maybe able to be revised.
