Is it common to have a crease under breast after mastectomy and how is this corrected? (Photo)

AnnSmith1973
I had prophylactic bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction in January. Immediately, I noticed a crease under my left breast. As the expanders expand, the crease moves. I first thought this was double bubble but I don't have breast tissue to create the first bubble. Is this common and how is this corrected?
