I've had 350cc saline implants under the muscle for 2 years now, and have bottoming out. I'm muscular with little body fat, 5'2", 104 lbs. My implants have gotten further apart, and pushed out to the sides, with extremely visible side rippling. My implants look bottomed out from the side, and become very deformed anytime I flex. My doctor suggests I do silicone under the muscle, open up muscle in the center more, put permanent sutures around the sides and bottom, and go smaller. If my chest muscles flexing caused this, I think it will happen again even with sutures. Any suggestions?

Answer: Avoid pectoralis strengthening exercises following submuscular "under" breast implants All the other surgeons have made excellent comments here that do not need to be repeated.

Answer: Modified muscle technique for implant problems The problem you describe is a very common one in muscular women, and something in which I have a special interest. Every time you flex, the muscles push the implants apart and down, and whether the sutures are permanent or not this will continue to occur. You can prevent it by going above the muscle but then the rippl;ing is worse. One technique I have had success with is a variation on the subfascial technique called the split muscle technique. Here are some resources to check it out: http://www.drbaxter.com/corrective_procedures.html, and http://www.drbaxter.com/breast_implants_athletic_woman.html.
