I had 375cc Natrelle implants inserted under the muscle about 6 months ago. I'm not thrilled about how they look relaxed (extend way too far into my armpit) but they look especially weird when I flex my muscle. Is this normal and they still need to drop or could it be an indication of something wrong? I have no idea what this could be.

Answer: You've got an issue there Dear Anonymous, You have something wrong going on with that implant. Is the other side normal? It appears that the lateral side of the pocket is not holding the implant in place. This can happen for various reasons but it doesn't look normal from the front either. Please go see your surgeon or get other opinions in person.

Answer: Animation deformity You have something we call an “animation deformity”, which is when you can move your implant and breast quite significantly with your pectoralis muscle, wrinkling the skin too. You’d need a surgical revision to tighten the pocket and release the muscle more. Possibly fat grafting too. I’d discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps, good luck!
