Why Do My Breasts Look Like This When I Flex My Muscles? (photo)

Thank you for the question and pictures.

Your breasts change shape when you activate the pectoralis muscles because of the positioning of the breast implants and the sub muscular position. This “animation deformity” is a down side of submuscular breast implant positioning  that can be annoying to patients;  However, there are many upsides  to having breast implants placed in this position.

I would suggest that you be careful about repositioning breast implants in the sub glandular position and having  to deal with the downsides associated with this situation.

Best wishes.

Thanks for your question.  You are demonstrating an animation deformity that occurs to some degree with most subpectoral augmentations.   If the movement of the implants is troubling you, you can consider replacement of the implants above the muscle. 

Your are seeing an animation deformity from the pec major muscle contraction over the implant.  If you have your implants replaced to a sub glandular position then you will see improvement.  However, you would need an evaluation to ensure that there is adequate tissue coverage, etc prior to surgery.  Also, on your right breast on the vertical incision it looks like there is a scab or other issue going on.  You should have your surgeon take a look to ensure that there is not a piece of suture poking out causing chronic irritation to the area.

 

Good Luck.
