Hello....I'm a little concerned about the way my breast reduction came out. Not sure if they are going to drop and am not sure if the indentation between the axillary indentations between my breast and armpit especially on the right side is going to fill in. I'm 5 weeks post- op today. Posting a few photo's of before and after and would like any advice or opinion I can get to reassure me that everything is right. I'm questioning myself and not sure if this is the way they should be. Any thoughts
