Hi, when I lie down my right breast has a dent in it , don’t have one on my left breast and I’ve never had it on my right . If I sit up/stand up my breasts look absolutely normal and I can’t feel any lumps.
Hi Ems I would definitely get it checked out as soon as you can. I only noticed a dent in my left breast when I lifted my arms up, couldn't see anything when just standing also didn't notice a lump. Mine did turn out to be cancer but yours might not be but get it checked.
I’m sorry you are concerned about your right breast and can understand you wanting to find out more.
It’s reassuring that your breasts look normal when you sit or stand, and that you can’t feel any lumps. Breasts can change shape a bit when you lie down, and sometimes that’s okay.
But because this dent is new and only on one side, it’s best to get it checked by your GP. Symptoms can have straightforward medical explanations, but only a doctor can assess you and decide whether you need to go for further tests.
I hope you know more about your situation soon.
