Asked By:Daibac in Wolf Creek, Kansas

Surgery: mastoplexy with replacement of over muscle saline implants to below muscle silicone implants. My main decision to do this procedure was because I wanted more natural feeling and looking implants. I was never told about this condition called animation deformity. It looks so awful, and I am so devastated. My surgeon continues to act like this is normal and acceptable, though I am completely disfigured. In addition, I now have assymetry in sz and level of breasts. Surg was 7 months ago.
