What Are The Options For This Animation Deformity After 2 Surgeries? (photo)

February 18, 2012
Asked By:erin4159 in Dallas

I have had two breast surgeries. The 1st was a non-dual plane aug with small implants. The second was a mastopexy and implant exchange with slightly larger (25-50cc) implants and dual planed. What would my best approach be at this time? I have considered subglandular placement. Both or just the affected implant? I can rarely avoid involunatrily flexing my peck and causing this breast to "jump." Personally, I am dating and already have to explain the pexy scars, this "trick" breast is a bit much.
