Will the crease/fold caused by stitches go away?

Asked By:Marjo8899 in New Hampshire, NH

Hello, I'm 7 days post-op from a breast reduction. The procedure went well, and while I'm definitely sore, nothing is unmanageable. My question has to do with the dissolving stitches used underneath my breasts. Because they are so new and tight, I notice that they pull the skin and make it look like I have a crease/fold in my breasts. Will this go away as my stitches loosen/dissolve? Thank you!
