Breast crease after explant (Photo)

hello ninakayj  Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the results that may be obtained.  The body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance.  One side of the face may be slightly larger, while one side of the face may be droopier.  The breast and trunk area exhibits the same possibilities.  Many of these issues cannot be fully corrected with surgery.  The more realistic your expectations are as to the results, the better your results will appear to you.  Some patients never achieve their desired goals or results, at no fault of the surgeon or surgery.  You may be disappointed with the results of surgery.  Asymmetry, unanticipated shape and size, loss of function, wound disruption, poor healing, and loss of sensation may occur after surgery.  Size may be incorrect.  Unsatisfactory surgical scar location or appearance may occur.  It may be necessary to perform additional surgery to improve your results.  Unsatisfactory results may NOT improve with each additional treatment.

Your breasts will improve with time. If there is a depression after three months, consider fat grafting. Please see the link

It is difficult to determine how much improvement you can expect without knowing more.  I recommend discussing your concerns with your surgeon.  Massage may be indicated.  If the crease remains you may consider fat grafting to the area once you are fully healed.

It's difficult to tell what that crease is caused by. I would ask your plastic surgeon and they can better guide you as to what to expect. If this crease did continue then fat grafting to fill it would be an option.
