Can the Chest Muscle Be Fixed if It Moves Weird (Up and Out) After Having Breast Implants Removed? I had breasts implants for 9 years and removed them 6 months ago because of the way the muscle moved them when flexing the muscle, but now even without implants I still have the same problem with the muscle. I want to get implants again but I want my muscle fixed at the same time, can this animation deformity be corrected? What is the most effective and predictable way? Thank you.

A: Muscle deformity with and after implants.

The animation deformity you have experienced is not uncommon with implants placed submuscularly. Unfortunately, there is very little that can be done for this while implants are in place. Upon explantation, it helps to perform a total capsulectomy (removal of all of the breast capsule) and to even reattach portions of the pectoralis muscle to the chest wall (medially and inferiorly). If you were to have implants placed under the muscle again, the animation deformity is likely to continue. Some surgeons have noted improvement in this deformity by using a dermal matrix (Strattice). The Strattice is placed like a hammock from the inframmary fold to the pectoralis muscle border. This provides a "tether" for the muscle as it contracts which may lead to a less-noticeable animation deformity. Unfortunately, this is quite an expensive addition to the surgical cost.

Breast Explantation While Pregnant? Can a breast explantation surgery be safely performed while pregnant? I have subglandular saline. I've heard its an easy procedure, and can even be done under "twilight" anesthesia.

A: Wait until after pregnancy.

Breast implant removal under elective circumstances should be performed when you are NOT pregnant. There is no reason to expose your baby to any possible anesthetic risk.

Had Implants Removed with Lift, Will Nipple Band Improve? (photo) After explanting for level 4 capsules and getting a lopipop lift my breasts are misshapen. I have a 'band' under the nipple area which doesn't seem right. I am 11 weeks post op- what is my prognosis? Do I have any hope of small but nicely formed breasts? Will they drop.

A: Breast deformity after implant removal

Having breast implants in place and then having them removed certainly causes changes to the breast architecture. The deformity you are describing and have demonstrated with your photos is not entirely surprising, however it will likely significantly improve over the next six months (which you have likely been told by the operating surgeon). There may be additional procedures that will be necessary in the future to improve the overall look of your breasts, if you are not considering placing implants back in the breasts.

other options may include:

breast fat grafting (adding fat that is harvested from other body areas to improve the overall shape /contour
scar revision - removing excess skin to further improve the breast shape / appearance
