Describe how the pec muscle relaxes after submuscular implant placement.

February 1, 2016
Asked By:AtoD550cc in Tacoma, WA

I found a lot of information on how long before the muscle relaxes, but what should women look for to determine that the muscle indeed relaxed? I would like a description of the muscle relaxing process and what would it look like? Does it always result in a sloped effect or can some women have their muscles completely relaxed, yet still have very high looking breasts (as if they did not "drop/ fluff" or chest muscle never relaxed)?
