The indentation may be due to cutting of muscle and tissue which is re sewn. My indentation has never changed over 15 months. The tissue underlying the scar and covering the prosthesis has undergone trauma and been stretched. massage and oil helps but don't do that until you're sure you've no infection. ... its very difficult for the first few months to know what is going on as we were never prepared for the result we get. ...at you able to call the treatment centre. ...I got reassurance from them for the first few weeks. ..hope everything is normal and nothing going on other than healing. ..
