What Are the Non-surgical Options for Breast Flexion Animation Deformity? (photo)

Unfortunately there are no nonsurgical options for correction of animation deformity. It is common with the dual plane procedure because a portion of the muscle is detached, and the cut edge of the muscle then adheres to the scar capsule as it forms. Correction involves either converting to the split muscle plane or placing the implants above the muscle with re-attachment of the muscle.

Generally the treatment is surgical as noted below. This may also represent a double bubble deformity   It is still quite early in your post-op healing. 
Botox in the muscle may offer some help but repositioning the implant  or changing the implant or cutting more of the muscle may be helpful.

Thank you for the question and picture.

There is no specific “nonsurgical way) to correct this problem seen with sub muscular breast augmentation. However, I have found that as breast implants settle over the course of the next few months you may find that the “deformity” will improve to some degree. In my practice, I use massage to help the implants “settle” into their final position. I also ask patients to avoid any strenuous/heavy pectoralis major muscle movement during this time period (for several months after surgery).

Make sure you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon who may have other suggestions for you.

Best wishes.

I don't know of any nonsurgical technique that will correct this.  My recommendation would to either, switch out your implant to a smaller implant that will not extend as low in the shape of your breast, or convert to a submammary placement.
