One of my Breasts Has a Indent/fold in the Cleavage Area? (photo)

NinaD2013
I had a bilateral mastectomy w/ immd recon. After surgery one of my breasts had an fold in the cleavage area. My PS did some repair work during the TE exchange, but it is still present. He says it is because I had "so much tissue" to start with...I was a 36/G cup before surgery. I am 5'3'' and 153lbs. I was expanded to 750cc, but the implant size he used was 700cc. I am unsure why he didn't try to go for 800cc, to use up the space? He tells me anything bigger would look funny.
