Hi!

I'm also young (20) and for a while now i've had a dimple on my left breast, that was present even when i wasn't flexed. I had a phone consultation with my GP who gave me an in-person appointment yesterday with a young female GP who was so lovely and understanding. although she said it doesn't seem like it's anything serious she's referred me to the breast clinic. i booked my appointment today for next week, but they told me that i should expect to be there for a few hours, which surprised me. I will keep you updated on my situation, in case it does turn out to be nothing!

I'd love an update on your phone consultation - how did it go and what did they say? I would definitely recommend for you to push towards having a physical examination if you're still concerned, i was so scared for mine but it really wasn't as bad as i thought!

Hiya! i just thought i would update this as i've just come back from my breast clinic appointment. so i had another physical examination by a female doctor in various different positions and stretches, and she said that due to my larger breast size, it seems as if the ligament of cooper has stretched, and that is what is causing the dimple. she said it's nothing to worry about, but just to be sure she's booked me another appointment for 3 months time to see if there are any changes. i hope this may relieve or help you in some way, apparently dimples can be caused by other things rather than just breast cancer x

i hope you are doing well

Hi can I ask if you went to follow up appointment? Had there been any other concerns with your indentation? :) 

Thanks x

Hiya! so i was actually unable to attend the follow-up as it was scheduled during lockdown in november and i was at uni so couldn't travel down. i have however, since had a breast reduction. my surgeon didn't express any concern before the operation, and he said that all tissue removed is sent to be analysed for cancer etc afterwards. i've heard nothing back so i assume everything was definitely fine, so i now have no dimple and smaller boobs! yay! 

i hope this is of some help x
