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 Your implant has pushed up somewhat through your capsule. Wearing push up bras could be the reason. Push up bras should not be worn with implants because of the risk of changing the shape and thinning lower breast tissue.

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.
