I think tight bra straps have caused shoulders indents. I have large breast implants for my frame (I'm getting them exchanged for smaller ones) and I am slim so a fat transfer may not be an option. Please advise. Thanks for your time.
Answer: Shoulder indentions Hello and thank you for posting photos along with your question! The best solution I can think of is Fat injection into these areas. These two areas would not require that much fat so as long as there is somewhere to obtain fat from it should be fine. I will say however, that you will very likely need multiple sessions because you can only inject so much fat (if you do it correctly). If you inject too much fat you can run into problems. If I inject fat into this area I ask patients to go bra-less for at least 3-4 weeks because I believe the pressure from the bra straps is not got for freshly tansferred fat. I hope this helps and make sure you are being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon.Ankur Mehta MD

Answer: Improving Bra Indentation with VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting This can be improved with hi definition liposuction. In my practice we typically do hi definition body shaping with VASER HI DEF to improve this area with great success. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert.

Answer: Fat Transfer for Indentations The indentation is permanent and may be able to be improved. I have utilized Fat transfer successfully in many areas of the body for this type of problem. Indentations can be improved with fat transfer if performed correctly. This procedure has been standardized and solves many problems of the past that were difficult to repair. This goes for both cosmetic and reconstructive problems. Therefore, I would look into this as an option for an improvement. You may need more than one session, however, it is worth looking into as a solution.

Answer: I have indents on my shoulders. Can this be corrected or are my shoulders permanently damaged? Generally, the indentations of your shoulders from your bra straps is permanent. Fat injections may be able to reduce their depth and make them less conspicuous. However, significant precautions would need to be taken to maximize the survivability of the injected fat. You should have enough fat to improve this issue.Steven Turkeltaub, MD
