Internal scarring - is there treatment for this?

May 26, 2024
Asked By:Holby in Wales, United Kingdom

I had breast implants removed in 2008 and peri areolar lift, following complications from previous surgery. My chest muscle was over dissected & the implants were touching. I had reconstructive surgery to correct/reattach muscle. In 2015 I had another successful augmentation with peri areolar lift. My issue now is there is an indentation under my left nipple along the original incision scar. I am assuming the internal scar has hardened causing a pinched area. Is there treatment for this?

Saline implant shells - moved/travelled in my body? Terrified
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

The empty bags are still present behind your breasts, but may be wadded up. There is no reason to be terrified because your body will treat them the same whether they are filled or empty. The ultrasound will show where they are. Sometimes you can feel the points of the empty bags.
