I had the fat graft, no titanium . . . no dent behind the ear.  My fat does NOT shrink!  The divot is in my abdomen.  My,  :o oh,  :o my!  And an angry scar.

Don't worry girls, just because some of us have a dent in our heads doesn't mean we got to miss out on the divot in our abdomen. Someone called it a muffin top and that describes mine perfectly. Good thing I'm a little too old for a bikini. That would be quite a sight!

I also have the dent in my forehead - it kind of looks like a picked chicken pox mark after years of healing.

I remember asking my ENT about the forehead dent and he said "Oh, you'll have to ask the neurosurgeon about the."  I then said something to the effect that it looked like the drill from Home Depot was used there.  He finally told me that is was caused from the device used to hold my head in place.  Geesh, he could have said that in the first place instead of dancing around about it.  It does look like a pox scar and seemed to take forever to heal.
