Hi there! I am a very active, fit 46 year-old who is slender. I am currently a 32A size bra, and am thinking about getting an augmentation with 200-250cc cohesive silicone implants under the muscle. I am worried, however, about animation deformity. How common is it? Does it happen to everyone who gets under-the-muscle placement? If it happens to me, is there anything that can be done surgically to ensure it doesn't happen in the first place? What can be done to correct it? Thank you so much!
