Implant indentation near my periareolar incision (Photo)

Cute685048Jan 20, 2023
It’s been 7 months since I had an implant exchange and 2 months since I had to have a revision on my left breast. I had to have capsule work to lower my left breast to match my right breast. Right after the surgery I had this odd indentation. To me it looks like there is something going on with the incision, like it's pulling and causing the indentation. I am in the process of scheduling another revision to see if the incision is causing the indentation. Has anyone seen something similar?

The implants do not change in size. But, as they settle down, your own breast fills out better with the implant in place and you have less upper chest fullness from where the implant originally sat.

Your size is good for your frame. You might consider going with a higher profile, but I don't recommend going up in size. Long term, you will hold this size up best. You have a very natural look now. Going bigger may look more fake.
