i personally would not mess with it if it were me. congratulations on your healing from breast cancer. i am a big believer in not disturbing an area which is healed.

There you go. I have plenty of scars from surgery, wounds, etc. Some are very visible, but most people don't notice. I have learned to live with them, they are part of me now. Most of them were before DH came along, they don't bother him.

If it doesn't bother you or hubby, I'd leave it be. Maybe the doctor was just offering information, some people need to have everything as back to normal as possible. Don't let it bother you. You have your health and you are a survivor.

Congrats on staying healthy. In the bigger scheme of things, the dimple doesn't really matter, but being vain as I am, i'd probably opt for it because it seems really simple to do.

I'm not surprised that a woman doctor suggested it. Male doctors tend to pat us on the head and tell us not to worry about things whereas a woman might understand our feelings about our bodies better. Or at least my feelings about my body. JMO
