Dent on bottom of areola. What's causing it? (Photo)

Wendy1551Mar 18, 2016
I got breast implants 5 years ago. Incision was under the breast not around the areola. About a year ago a linear dent appeared on the bottom of my left areola and I really didn't pay too much attention to it. But now the dent is starting to appear on the other areola. When my nipple becomes hard the line goes away, the dent only appears when then nipple/areola is not hard/stimulated. What could be causing this?

Hello Zazzy and thank you for your question! I want to start off by telling you what I tell many of my patients: Do not focus on cc's or bra sizes as many women see their friend with "x" number of cc implants etc and think that they have an idea of what they want. There is a lot that goes into...
