Hello members and doctors,

I have been concerned with a crest type looking defect in one breast. Up until this point I though it was a crater type defect. However, now that things have settled and I have pinched around, it seems there is a thin line of harder tissue that makes up the shape underneath the skin.

Please look carefully at the photo. 

Doctors and similarly situated members:

1. What is this tissue? Is is the incision where the doctor excised the tissue and residual scarring or left over tissue.

THANKS.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, and I'm guessing that's why no one has answered.

Thanks doc... lets try again.

My chest looks as if it has a depression which looks like a slight crater deformity, but when I pinch around, it seems there is some rubbery (denser than fat) tissue that makes up the lip or outer edge of this "crater" looking problem. I thought it was a crater until I pinched around and noticed this extra tissue. Now that I observe more, its not a crater at all, but a shadowing effect from the SLIGHT protrusion from this tissue. Because it has a crest like shape, it creates a crater type image from the shadowing. The Tissue SEEMS to be either scar tissue or residual gyno.
