Hi doctors. I’m only about 3 weeks post op so I understand my body is still healing and this is isn’t the final result, but I’ve had a dent on the side of my left pec since day 1 after surgery and it hasn’t seemed to change at all. Does it look like oversuction or does it look like it the gap/dent will eventually fill in? It’s quite noticeable, especially with arms raised. Really hoping I don’t have to do another surgery to fix and worst case just could use some fat injections to fix.
