My right breast has a huge indent with any little movement as my implants are under the muscle. Can this be fixed? It’s so embarrassing in a swimsuit!
Answer: Subfascial Implant Placement 100%. You have a classic hyperanimation deformity which has a very straightforward and common fix in my practice. You would be well served with a site change to the subfascial position, replacing your pectoralis muscle into the chest wall where it belongs and the new subfascial device would be supported with P4HB scaffolding for long term stability. #Sigalift

Answer: Animation deformity Dear thered94, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Animation deformity: can this be fixed? Without an in oerson examination it is difficult to give advice but, in general reovosong the amount of muscle released, pocket adjustments and possibly fat transfer to the area of indentation shkiukd make the problem correctible. Another option is to replace the implant over the muscle. Revisional surgery definitely needed
