Okay, my left breast is great. I was afraid I was bottoming out but now I don't think so. I think the right needs to catch up. I am 6wks post op. The left breast has the incision about 1/4inch above the crease. The right is exactly in the crease. The problem is that as the breast is settling it seems to create a pucker or a indention where the incision is. As if the breast is settling around the incision but the incision is stuck. Could this be because the stitches are not fully disolved or do you think I may need to revise the incision? And I have really massage the incision site and it seems very smooth but I can feel hardness inside the breast there.

Alisa,
Hard to say without seeing you. It is still early in your recovery period and this may all work out with time. I would see your surgeon and get his or her opinion.
