What is causing the lower portion of my areola to dip in?

wondrwomnOct 18, 2015
There appears to be a "dipping" effect going on around both my arreolas. Are they just going to "pop up" when the stitches are removed? In the photo I am using "honey pads to keep the area clean and moist so its hard to see. However above the bottom of my arreola beneath the nipple I can stick my finger inside. I forgot to ask my ps and won't see him again for another week. Any insight would be appreciated. They are also not centered correctly and hope this can be corrected relatively soon?

Thank you for your question and photo.  Most likely at 3 weeks post op your not having skin necrosis.  An in person examination is needed for a full assessment.  It looks like you may have an early skin infection caused by removal of the rejected suture. This is not uncommon....
