Hello, I had gland/lipo removal 2 years ago. When I raise my arm the nipple goes in a bit. When I tense my muscle I get a horizontal line and the nipple folds in. The first 6 months I did not have this issue. I have been back to my surgeon who has said its just the muscle tightening everything in the area and nothing can be done.
