Breast dimple/dent need advice

Hi, so I am 28 & had a baby 7mo ago, didn’t breastfeed. I’ve recently been more anxious about breast cancer. The other day I noticed that when lifted my arm my left breast (only in very certain lighting) was dimpling / dent in one or two areas on the underside. Needless to say I am freaking out and crying every day. Breast clinic appt this Tuesday. No distinct lump under or around that can be felt. Has anyone had any experience of this or benign stories? I can’t function :(

  • Hi Healthanx95,

    I can understand the uncertainty around this must be difficult and I know the waiting is not easy - it's good to hear you don't have too long to wait for the appointment now.

    It looks like you've been chatting to others on here, so I hope the forum is helpful for you. There will be others here who have experienced similar so hopefully you'll get some more replies soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    good luck for tomorrow xx 

  • Thanks guys a lot! A quick update & thanks so much for well wishes xx I had my consultation today with a man doing it years and years & he wasn’t concerned at all - did examination and couldn’t feel any lump and didn’t think the dimple was concerning either but something about where my breast is sitting in my chest/ribs, but for my own peace of mind ordered US scan for a couple of weeks away to confirm what he’s thinking himself he said, so all in all it was positive, will update when I get my ultrasound appt etc hopefully won’t be too long to wait, I’m paying private so I’d say within the month fingers crossed xx 

  • Hi Healthanx,

    Many thanks for the update.

    I'm glad to hear that your consultant wasn't concerned. Despite this, it is helpful that he has still ordered an ultrasound. I am sure that you will feel better to have this done, if only for your own peace of mind. I have everything crossed for your next update and hope that the outcome remains the same.

    Kind regards,
