Hallo, I have a problem with my dual plane BA performed in September 2016. When I flex the implants go and I feel in the lower part as there is something pulling my breast outwards. Has my surgeon any responsibility concerning this side effect (is it possible that something went wrong when he cut the muscle?) Will putting smaller implants possibly minimize this effect? What other corrective actions may be performed to correct this? Thanks for your answers
Answer: Options to correct animation deformity Animation deformity is very common with the dual plane technique. For the past 12 years I have been using the split muscle plane, which provides muscle coverage over the upper pole but leaves the muscle attachments intact. It was developed as a variation of the subfascial method, which does not provide implant coverage over the upper part of the implant as well. Your problem can be corrected by converting to the split muscle plane. If you convert to subfascial be sure that the surgeon re-attaches the muscle. I don't know anyone in IT who does the split muscle technique but Dr. Umar Khan in the UK does it.

Answer: Animation deformity solution No, the solution is not smaller implants; it is just a faulty technique in which the muscle was insufficiently released; only the extended muscle release partical submuscular plane (aka dual plane) or the strongly recommended and neatly superior subfascial plane do prevent the animation or flex deformity; a total submuscular location or poorly freed muscle are the causes of your deformity.With that said it is understandable the solution for your case is finishing the release of the muscle into a correct dual plane or, to gain safety and prevent recurrence, turn to the more modern subfascial location.

Answer: Don't let a surgeon do even more damage to the muscle. In Britain almost 90% of dual plane surgeries were unsatisfied with the animation problem. My suggestion is to change the implants to subfascial position. That still gives protection from edge show, wrinkles or ripples but since it's above the muscle it isn't vulnerable to animation problems. By the way, this is the most common technique in South America and it's gaining popularity in the US. Make certain you surgeon has done this procedure.
