Is there a dent (not a scar) left in breast from loss of tissue after a stereotactic
biopsy using the Mammotome biopsys?

I didn't get a dent from the stereotactic...I got a dent from the excision of the area (stereotactic didn't get enough tissue).  The dent did eventually fill in..i guess, because it is not there anymore!

I found a large dent (1/2 by 1" or so) last night when I lifted my arm to dry my hair after shampoo and bathing.  Did you ever find anything out?  Is it supposedly normal?  It doesn't seem normal to me since this was a biopsy not surgery.  I am an RN and confused.
Thanks...

I had 3 stereotactic biopsies in January of 2007.  1 of them was really deep, & when I raise my arm up, I can see a dent.
