Is this animation deformity? How to fix the problem? (Photo)

Dear Genuine158306,
though rare, some women who undergo breast augmentation will develop a minor deformity known as a “double bubble,” in which additional folds appear underneath the breasts due to the implant accidentally shifting or contracting post-surgery. In most cases, the implant simply slipped too far down the chest wall and traveled behind the breast inframammary crease (the area where the lower breast meets the chest), instead of moving forward to fill the breast cavity. If left untreated, the lopsided implant will form unnatural indentations, resulting in an odd “four-breast effect” rather than the full, rounded chest the patient initially desired.

There are a number of options that could provide improvement, but the most reliable one for a true animation deformity is to move the implants from under to muscle to above. I would suggest a visit to your surgeon for a more definitive diagnosis and discussion of treatment options.

Yes, it is animation deformity. Your pectoralis major muscle edge is being seen. You may consider fat transfers to try and conceal it or replace with smaller implants.

Best Wishes,
