Is this 'animation deformity'? (Photo)

Animation deformity such as you pictures show is very common with the dual plane procedure, because the muscle is detached from the chest wall and the cut edge then adheres to the scar capsule as it forms. It will not get better with time. Correction of the problem is either conversion to the split muscle plane or placing the implants above the muscle with re-attachment of the muscle.

Given you are only 6 weeks post operative this may change with time. Follow up with your surgeon for an in person examination to clarify. Regards, 

Thanks for your question and picture. Your pictures are a very good example of animation deformity. This is an unavoidable complication of submusclar augmentation. The decreased rate of CC, increased camouflage of the implant, and easier mammogram screening are worth the complication. Best of luck!

Hello!  Thank you for your question.  It does appear with your description as well as the photo that you do have an animation deformity. This is a potential complication with the sub pectoral breast augmentation and should have been discussed.  It sometimes improves over time, but may never resolve.  If it worsens or continues to be bothersome to you, consideration for change of placement to a subglandular or subfascial position should be entertained.  Hope that this helps.  Best wishes!  

You are experiencing animation deformity.  This is more obvious initially and may improve with time.  I would most definitely go and speak with your surgeon.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
