I'm just about 6 weeks post-op. 260cc silicone Natrelle style 20 (high profile) in both. I noticed a few days ago that if I stretched, bent arms back or if I was flexing my pectoral muscles, my right breast would appear 'sucked in', it would ride up & the bottom would have a bizzare, cone (& flat bottom).shape. What is going on here?! What do you think this is? My options? I'm crushed that we spent so much on surgery and now I have a freakish looking breast. Dr's appt is scheduled for Friday...

Answer: Animation Deformity 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!

Answer: Animation deformity? 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!
