After I had my implants removed, my breast look weird as well as the pectoral muscle. When I lift my arm, breast goes up also just as if i had implants. It also feels like something is missing in the middle of my breast, like there is no muscle there anymore, making my breast go apart, closer to my armpits and changing its shape. Did my doctor do anything wrong? Can anything can be done in this situation? Before augmentation, I used to work a lot with pectoral. What about now? Will it make my breast look even more weird?

Answer: Implant removal
I would assume from what you have said that you have your implants in for a while. Things are usually never the same I would bet that your surgeon did not do anything wrong.
The pec muscle is released inferiorly when the implants are put in so after having the implants for a while the pec muscle atrophies or thins out a bit and does begin to window shade superiorly. So, yes inferiorly you do not have any pec muscle and you may have somewhat an hollow area.
A lot also depends on how big your implants were and how much breast tissue you have. You may also need a lift which would help things out.
Good luck.

Answer: Medial hollow from Breast augmentation
Your pocket has scarred down to the pectoralis muscle. The muscle has been cut at the inner lower border - on purpose. Now that the im[plants are removed, the muscle separate and the breast tissue follows. To correct the hollow, fill the hollow with fat and attempt to resuspend the muscle.
Your doctor did not do anything wrong!
