6 months post-op. What can be done to fix my animation deformity? Should I downsize the implant? (photos)

Asked By:mini556

I had 295 silicone mp under the muscle implants 6 months ago. I have a bad animation deformity now. What would be best to fix this? I use upper body a lot. Switch to over the muscle (I am thin) should I then downsize the implant as well if so what size? Explant of implant and muscle stitched back? I’ve heard animation deformity can still be present after implant removal. I’m saggy now would I most likely need a lift if removed/switched to above the muscle? I would like to avoid a full lift.
