9 weeks post op and noticed this dent approximately 2 weeks ago in my left breast which has become bigger and sore. Should I worry?
Answer: Is This Dent In My Cleavage Normal Thanks for your question! Based upon your photos (thanks for sharing them!) and my experience of doing thousands of breast augmentation surgeries, I think that “dent” is just a variant of normal, & will probably resolve over time. If not, it can probably easily be corrected with an in office fat grafting procedkre. I’d give it at least 6 months to resolve on its own though. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Early healing From your photos, it appears that you are seeing the border of your pectoralis muscle where it was released during the surgery. It is likely becoming more visible as your swelling improves. The overall shape and size of the breast will change in the first 6-8 weeks after surgery. Be patient overall, but check in with your PS for a more detailed exam and evaluation.Best of luck

Answer: Is this dent in my cleavage normal? Without an in-person examination, it is really hard to know exactly what is going on. You are also very early in your healing period and so your appearance may change over time and this can soften.At this point, I encourage you to follow the recommendations of the Plastic Surgeon who actually performed your surgery and be patient. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: BA results Dear Loveme_2018,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 9 weeks post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Dent in cleavage Not sure what is causing this dent high in your cleavage. I would give it a few months to see if it corrects itself. If required, I think a small amount of fat grafting to the area would resolve the issue. Good luck.
