Breast puckering after biopsy

I had an MRI Guided biopsy 3 weeks ago. They found flat epithelial atypia in my left breast. The other day i noticed my right breast puckering a little under my breast in the inner area. It's definitely a little distorted. This is the breast that had more bruising than the other and actually turned out benign. Has this ever happened to anyone after biopsy? This is also the breast that had warm sharp electrical like pain before the biopsy. Could they have made a mistake in The diagnosis and switched the breast? I know, my mind is going wild right now..

    I recently had a stereotactic biopsy located at the 7 o'clock position near the bottom inner aspect of my breast. I do have a puckering or dimple at the insertion site that showed up a few days afterwards. I also developed a golf ball size hematoma and black and blue on about 1/2 of my breast. It has been one month since the biopsy and the puckering is not as bad as it was. I think the tissue that is removed from the breast with the biopsy sometimes leaves some swelling inside the breast along with the incision site scar healing and pulling on the outside. Although everyone does not get this, I think it is a normal post biopsy occurrence. If it continues to worry you, you should check back with your surgeon.
