Botched breast reduction, what can be done to fix it? (Photos)

Asked By:Melanin Rich in Minneapolis, Minnesota

i had a breast reduction performed last year -i recovered without complications until about 6 months out when i noticed an odd divot under my right breast. it is most noticeable when i raise my arm but even when lying down the divot is visible. my breast also curves upward on either side towards the incision rather than a smooth, natural slope. my surgeon was not helpful in identifying what the issue was & i am unsure of possible causes for this & what can be done to fix it.
