Question

I have had breast implants in 2016. Textured tear drop. I’m concerned about the dent that shown in the pictures^. Is it normal for them to dent or ripple? I can’t get to see my surgeon because he’s unwell, so I’m going to my GP tomorrow to be referred for a scan. I’m just looking for some reassurance. I’m also terrified of the link between ALCL, so any info on that will be much appreciated. Thanks

Dear laurengb93,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It is really difficult from the photos to explain the cause of this dent, so I think you will need a clinical examination, also I think having a scan is a good idea too.
