Breast dimpling post Lumpectomy?

Hi there! Anyone notice breast dimpling after lumpectomy? It has been 6 months after my surgery and I’m seeing 2 distinct dimples showing in the surgery area. I’m thinking it could be from the scar tissue?

Yes my scar has dimpled around it after a lumpectomy. I was told when I went to the lymphoedema clinic to massage it as well as my arm. I also rub in moisturizer twice a day when I get up and go to bed.

I agree with you and note that complete healing does take up to 6 months. However a visit to your surgeon for reassurance is certainly warranted.
