I had breast augmentation a year ago Mentor MemoryGel 275cc and I have dents between breasts on the lower areas without flexion. What is causing this?
Answer: Dents after breast augmentation. Your dents come from where the pectoralis muscle was released during surgery. What you’re seeing is the very bottom portion of the release. Below that there is no pectoral muscle but there’s only breast tissue which is thin and causes a dent. A certain percentage of people do get this, according to what they’re anatomy was prior to the surgery and what manipulation of the pectoral muscle was done.

Answer: Dents Based on the location of the breast contours that concern you, it is likely to be caused from one of two reasons. One is the rippling of the implants. This is less common with gel implants than saline implants, but can occur with either. The second would be where the muscle is coming across the implant. This is often disguised with natural breast tissue, but for some who have little breast tissue or thin skin it can be visible.

Answer: Dents Thanks for your question! It could be the way the muscle is covering the implant. It could also be rippling. Lastly, it could be your natural anatomy. I would encourage an in-person follow-up appointment with your surgeon to evaluate and consider recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Dents From the location and shape of the dents, I suspect it is related to your bra, especially ones with underwire.

Answer: Rippling indedents Hello, thank you for your question. Rippling can happen with any implant, implants without rippling would be a hard round ball and of course this is undesirable. It more pronounce in patients who have thinner skin and not a lot of natural breast tissue/body fat. Nothing really can be done about the rippling except consideration of fat grafting to the area to help minimize the appearance. Speak to your plastic surgeon if you are really bother by this.
