Do you use your arms and chest when you talk?

Thank you for your question, but I'm still trying to make sense of it.  The only way your chest muscles would move when you talk is if you use your chest muscles when you talk--you would have to be moving your arms forcefully (pushing forward), for instance.  Please see your plastic surgeon for her evaluation, and do let us know what she says, as I think we're as interested in the answer as you are.

Implants move with talking

Kay, Even with implants partially under the muscle, I can't explain why they would move only while talking. I'd recommend you see you plastic surgeon and show them how they move to determine what might be causing it. I hope this helps Dr. Edwards
