What is this indent between my boobs?

FjeishaFeb 16, 2015
I Just Got A breast augmentation, saline completely submuscular. I had my surgery 4 days ago and as the bruising is going down I'm really starting to notice an indentation in both my breasts, right in the middle where the breast bone is. I'm still very swollen, but what is this? Will it go away with more time?

The thong bra is probably compressing the venous outflow, causing dilatation of the veins.  Take off the bra and see if the veins go down.  If they do, it is the bra.

The question you asked should only be answered by your plastic surgeon.  Please call him/her to clarify.  Someone should be on call even over the weekend.  Good Luck.

Hi.  Since you have a petite frame with a 32 band size, I suspect that a 450 cc implant will take you larger than a small D.  I suspect you'll be closer to a full 32 D or 32 DD.All the best,
