Chest depression

Why has the edge of my chest thickened while the middle and upper parts haven't grown? As shown in the picture, there is a depression in the yellow area. I usually do barbell flat bench press, incline barbell bench press and dumbbell flyes. What other exercises should I do?

Thanks for any help.

Try decline. Tends to hit the upper chest more, especially if you haven't really responded with other angles.

True enough. I suppose the other thing you can try is increasing the degree of your incline. Perhaps that's simply not high enough.

It looks like you're trying to increase your upper and inner chest mass, at least for your right pectoral.

Sometimes, it's because you're built that way, and there's a natural imbalance, but it may also partially be due to the exercises you're doing. I noticed you hit incline bench, which is a definite plus. Personally, I'm not that big a fan of flyes, but if you're getting results from them, keep doing them. How long have you been lifting/exercising for?

Have you tried using dumbbells for presses (both flat and incline)? I ask because dumbbells are an excellent way of correcting imbalances. If not, you can give them a try.
