Breast lift and augmentation, 1 year post op. I have a sharp angle/indentation in my right breast. Thoughts about what is going on?
Answer: Capsular contracture? A formal examination and knowledge about exactly her procedure would be best to diagnose this but it is common that capsular contracture can cause irregularities like this. Other options are that you are brought is deforming the implant in a slightly different way on one side than another. I would return to her plastic surgeon and have them formally evaluate it.

Answer: Dent in cleavage 1 year after breast lift and augmentation A definitive diagnosis would require a physical examination, but your photos suggest that the most superior aspects of your pockets are opened higher on one side. Your implants seem to be large and pressing against the border of the pockets. The pressure from lesser space on one side is causing an indentation or flattening. If this truly bothers you, it should be correctable by expanding the pocket in the flattened area.

Answer: Breast implants That just an area where the muscle is tight. It can be fixed but would probably require general anesthesia with the costs that entail. Only you could decide if it’s worth doing.

Answer: Indent in right breast Thanks for your inquiry and pictures. Without an exam it is hard to advise completely but a couple of possible thoughts. If the implants are under the muscle, that may be your muscle edge on the right side causing the dent when you flex or if it is over the muscle it may be the shape of pocket. Finally, without seeing the whole breast, it is hard to know if any encapsulation. Please see your surgeon to discuss.
