Is it possible to develop a “flat spot” on a silicone implant? (photos)

Asked By:Melissa0329 in New York, NY

I had a BA done 3/2016, and I have recently noticed I developed a flat spot on my left breast. It is just below my nipple & when trying to do research, I am unable to find out if this would be a warranty issue or not. I have 415cc Natrelle Inspira silicone implants.
