Within the past few days I began bruising above my righty incision and now today (1 week out) I have and indent above my incision. Does this look like something that needs to be addressed right away? I have an appt Friday but this is kind of worrying me. Thank you!
Answer: 1 week post op with a weird dent above my incision. Too soon to tell? (Photo) It's too soon to tell at this point in your recovery as it's only been 1 week post-op. Your breasts will change over the next several months as your implants settle so try to focus on healing and follow your surgeon's instructions and go from there. From the photos, your bruising is not unusual. Good luck! ac

Answer: Dent above incision Thank you very much for your question and photos.It does look as if you are slightly bruised following the surgery which is to be expected at this stage. As you say, you have a slight depression above the scar but I think at this stage it is slightly too early to tell if this will remain. The dents can be caused by the internal stitching, swelling or tape you put on your incision. I think it would be worthwhile discussing the nature of the contour irregularity with your surgeon and in most cases they will be able to reassure you that it will settle with time. I wish you the best of luck and hope the area continues to heal well. AR
