Hi, I had 300 cc silicone implants placed under the muscle in 2017, woke up with a double bubble on the left with intense pulling and tightness at the crease with pec muscle activation or slight arm movements, underwent revision surgery 9 months later with release of muscle, but implants bottomed out at 3 months.
