I have 375 cc silicone implants under the muscle. My right implant was replaced from a 400 cc to a 375 cc about a year ago. The pocket was also lowered to try and even it out with the left side. After the revision i noticed a puckering at the top of my cleavage on the right side and right under where it puckers out is an indent. Its noticeable all the time but mostly when i push my implants together. What can be done to correct this?

Answer: Pocket issues with implants It looks like a pocket issue with the implant. Some of the answers using fat to camouflage it maybe a solution, but an exam in person is essential. A pocket revision possibly using Strattice may be necessary to eliminate that problem. Good luck.

Answer: Indentation Thanks for your question and photo. For a proper answer in in person exam would be helpful as photos alone are not sufficient to understand what the problem is. Depending on the cause, the solutions may vary. Probably the simplest would be fat grafting into the area of indentation. Otherwise, alteration of the pocket, change of implant to a stiffer form stable implant, and/or adding an acellular dermal matrix (Strattice) to adjust the pocket are among the possibilities, all of which are rather more complex. Discuss with your surgeon, or second opinion. All the best.
