So I'm about 3 1/2 weeks outta surgery and everything is going well - except I've noticed that there's sort of an indentation on one of my pecs. It seems like too much fat was removed from an area of one, as the skin is tighter (I can't stretch my arm as easily, etc.)

Any chance this could fix itself? : /

Im not a medical expert but when I had my surgery I had a simular thing and it has dissapeared now (5 months post op). Perhaps you could speak with your surgeon if your worried?

Since you are only 3.5 weeks post surgery, your lack of free mobility in your arms is probably from internal trauma that hasn't healed yet, not from too tight of skin. If I remember correctly, I didn't have free movement of my arms until about week 5.

I'm 5.5 months out from surgery and you're going to see a lot of changes in the next month or two. You might want to wait a bit before contacting your surgeon. He'd probably just tell you to wait.
