I recently had 15 year old saline implants removed from under the muscle. I opted to not have a lift and just let my body recover on its own. Since the procedure, it seems like my chest is concave where the implants were, like the is a circular divot or crater. I know that my breasts will “fluff” as I heal, and I know that I will never have perky, full breasts since I elected to not have a lift, and I am fine with that. But I am wondering if these “divots” will level out more as time goes on.
