Asked By:Adi918 in New York, NY

Hi Everyone. Can anyone tell me if this dent will go away? 8 wks post breast reduction. Left breast has dent on stitch site and is very hard when I touch it compared to the rt. Went to dr yesterday & he injected steroid shot into that area. Really upset because my breast looks deformed. Is this normal? Are the stitches too tight? Is this is common & is there a solution? Never noticed that lt was bigger than rt but dr said it was. Now I notice right is bigger than left. So depressed about this :(
