Breast indents from Breast Augmentation? What has happened?

Candyann521Feb 21, 2016
I have silicone implants. It was my second surgery. First surgery I had saline implants. I have these flat like dents on my breasts. And my breasts seem to be mis-shaped now. The indents are like flat spots.  They don't feel hard at all. Still soft and manageable. No pain either.

It's common to feel tight and uncomfortable soon after breast augmentation, especially with high profile implants. It takes a few weeks to heal but you should be pretty much back to normal within a month. It may take a little longer to "forget" that you've done surgery when you have a fairly...

You should be fine if all other pre-operative instructions have been adhered to, and most importantly, following post-operative instructions explicitly. Best of luck to you.
