Pulling sensation and pain in nipple?

mgm1515Jan 22, 2018
I am almost 8 mo post op, high profile silicone 365cc under the muscle. My left breast sometimes twitches when I move my arm a certain way and when it is cold. A few months ago I noticed that I have a small dent in my lower clevage area, and when I push on the dent I can feel it in my nipple and across the whole breast, like a string is in there and pulling. Should this be a concern? My PS said a dent would go away on its own but it hasn’t at all and now I have pain too.

Dear Americasil, Looking at your preop picture, you have what we call a tight inframammary fold.  That means the angle of your lower breast is less than 90 degrees compared to your upper abdomen.  If you do not undergo a lift, a couple of bad results are going to happen.  First, the ni...
