What is happening anatomically when animation deformity persists after explant?

Asked By:adawgg in England, United Kingdom

I had breast implants via the dual plane technique for 3 years. I explanted and the surgeon advised that he secured the pec muscle back to its natural position with sutures. Animation deformity and chest muscle tightness was an issue whilst I had the implants and this has persisted after removal. I've searched endlessly and have found information about the mechanics of animation deformity with implants but I can't find any information about what is occuring anatomically post explant.
