Question about flexion/animation deformity with breast implants. Would a reconstruction w/ a dual plane approach help?

Asked By:Original380136 in Sanger, California

I had an initial reconstructive breast augmentation for tubular breasts in 2013. The incision was periaereolar and aereolas were resized. Over the years, my breasts and aereolas have shifted and are different sizes again. But my biggest issue is the flexion deformity. My implants completely flatten when I flex (shift up and away from breast tissue) and flatten out to the sides when I lay down. Would a reconstruction w/ a dual plane approach help this deformity?
