Asked By:binrand in Ontario, CA

I am 9 weeks post op from my breast augmentation and have had on and off pain in my right breast inscision throughout my recovery. Today I noticed some new perpendicular "sunk in"impression type lines along my inscision (mild pain is still present on and off) Any idea what the cause of these are? Will they go away? Should I be concerned?
