A member asked:
Is there any significance in a breast dimple that goes away when i raise my arms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think this maneuver has enough diagnostic significance. For peace of mind get a breast examination by your physician, gynecologist or a breast surgeon especially if this breast dimpling has recently developed.
