Hello, thank you for taking time to read my concern. I feel pretty good, obviously swollen and sore. Which I very much expected. But... my incision seems to be sucked up so to speak in just one breast. I have talked to my PS and sent pictures. They said it's just swelling, nothing to be concerned about. I would very much appreciate other opinions. Thank you so very much for your time!

Answer: Incision concern The incision appears to be healing as expected. The indentation is likely secondary to the internal stitches that were placed to close the incision. This type of puckering usually will resolve with time, without the need for scar revision. You should continue to follow-up with your surgeon to make sure things are progressing as expected.

Answer: Dent in scar under breast It appears to me from your photograph, that there is a deeper suture placed to the bottom of the breast pocket that is pulling the incision in that direction. On the sides, because no such suture exists, both the implant and surrounding fluid have created the more rounded look that you should have. Over time, weight and gravity, and the rounded nature of the bottom of the implant should produce a rounded appearance at the bottom. I would give it several months before going back to try and fix it. Good luck.
