Is it normal to have an empty fold of skin under the implant?

I'm one week post op and one breast has a weird fold of skin under the implant. I can't work out if it was there from day 1 or if my surgical bra has caused it from being too tight :(

    Hi there. Thanks for the question. It's too early to tell anything at present. Wounds need to settle in, as does the implant. It may be a non-issue, but you are best to show and discuss with your surgeon. It's not always possible to work these things out online. I hope this helps.
