It’s been four ears since my augmentation and these dents me bother me more and more. My doctor said they are because I have a high sternum? I don’t see these on anyone else, believe me, I look. I feel like for how hard I tried to make sure mine looked natural, these dents ruin it. How can I fix them? Why do I have them? I have zero cleavage but the dents are my concern.

Answer: Cleavage Dear hannah78,many women seek improved cleavage. Narrowing the cleavage plane can be done very carefully by a skilled surgeon. Moving the implants too far medially can result in synmastia or unaboob which is very difficult to correct. That being said, the right amount of pocket dissection and implant selection can create excellent cleavage. Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Dents by sternum after breast augmentation Although it is difficult to say for sure without examining you, these "dents" likely represent a valley between the prominence of your pectoralis muscle above and your implant below. This could possibly be corrected by fat grafting to this area in order to fill in the valley, or by placement of an acellular dermal matrix in this area. Best to see a plastic surgeon who specializes in revision breast surgery for a full evaluation.
