What Can Cause Indention In Right Bicep?

Female-I had a MRI done on my right bicep after noticing the right bicep is approx. 1/2 inch smaller in diameter than the left. There is also an indentation at upper muscle section. The left, with a bicep curl is equal in width, however the right arm muscle has a dip at the upper portion of the right bicep with a weight curl. I presumed I tore it when I had an injury after a dog fall 2 years ago and trouble raising my right arm straight above my head for about a year. But, the MRI was normal. Is it possibly a strain?
