Muscle implant separation - can this be easily fixed with revision? (Photo)

April 24, 2024
Asked By:866 in Fallbrook, California

With the slightest flecks of the pectoral muscles, the muscle and implant separates on both breasts but especially on one of them. Is this normal? Can it be easily fixed with revision? I have had no prior procedures or surgeries of any kind.
