So I had a boob reduction and lost …. Drum roll.. 5lbs (2.5kg) of tit weight.
love it.

but I’m wondering if the dents from my bra straps will ever go? Or if I can do anything to remove them.

exercise a lot fwiw

Indentation of the shoulders as a consequence of the weight of large breasts causing one's bra straps to compress the underlying tissues is a common finding.

Your bra straps shouldn’t be taking the weight of your boobs - you are probably wearing too large a back size if this is the case. So I’d go and get some different bras.

No. They don’t ever go. Had my BR 6 years ago now.

Had mine reduced 23 years ago and never went but can honestly say never bothered me.
