I had a BA 6 months ago, submuscular, 300cc left and 360cc in right tear drop implants. About 2 monts ago I started noticing these dents in my clevage. I went to my PS and he told me that he could not fix it and suggested I get filler injected ever nine months.... I would like another opinion.
Answer: You Deserve a Permanent Solution Thank you for posting photos and providing the details of your breast augmentation. As others have pointed out, returning periodically for filler injections is not ideal. Fat grafting, performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, may be the best option. The first step is to have a plastic surgeon conduct a physical exam to determine the specific cause of the dents you describe. It's possible that surgical revision is the only way to correct the issue.

Answer: Breast augmentation result I think as your breast augmentation has matured, your skin has stretched a bit and your implants have settled and evacuated the area that is now a dent. I would give it some more time to make sure the implants do not settle any more, if they did, a capsule repair and implant elevation would be needed. If they stay where they are, I agree with the first doctor answer that a little lipo and fat graft to the area could give you a permanent fix. Good luck.

Answer: Breast augmentation A good physical exam is needed for an accurate recommendation. I suspect that you may need a little smoother release at that point. Fat grafting is a great option. You may need some correction of the pocket, I can't really tell that well in photos. Since your surgeon has stated they can't fix it I would recommend a second opinion. Be sure this is a board certified plastic surgeon. There is also a training program in Detroit.

Answer: Cleavage Dents after Breast Augmentation.....? As with anything in surgery, there are many opinions as to the cause of the problem and potential solutions. In this case I would like to add one more of both. It appears to me that your implants are a little too close together, and more specifically, it appears that your Right implant is too close to or possibly even crossing the midline. This could be from over release of your pectoralis muscle and the dent superiorly appears to be where your muscle remains attached. If on examination, your implants Do Not cross midline, then I'd like ly recommend releasing the superior Pectoralis Muscle origin from the breast bone area to round out the pocket. If however, they implant can cross midline, then I would recommend using Strattice to reconstruct a smooth medial pole.

Answer: It can be fixed surgically. You are witnessing scar tissue that is closing this part of your submuscular pocket. Filler is not the right way to fix it. This pocket can be reclaimed with surgery. However it is very likely to happen again. If it bothers you, have surgical correction. Follow your surgery with compulsive implant massages and hope that pocket does not close again.
