375 Silicone Unders. Very Active. Flex Deformity Issues. Lees Summit, MO

I think for some people if you're going to get it, you're going to get it regardless on if you're doing chest workouts. I noticed this problem very early on after getting my breast augmentation but I will say I think it is getting worse. I originally thought that it happened with everybody so I didn't worry about it for a while because when I showed my doctor at a follow up appointment, he seem to think it was normal. It wasn't untilrecently I have really gotten tired of not being able to wear tight shirts or cute clothing which is one of the reasons I got my augmentation to begin with, so I started looking into it and mine is just really bad. I'm afraid that i won't be able to fixed it, but I don't know. I go in next week to see my doctor. I really don't want them to get switched over because I'm afraid of capsular contracture contracture. yours will probably be fine if it's just a very slight movement.

That's the same thing my revision doc said -- he has crossfit girls and mma fighters as patients who get aug and continue heavy pec lifting and do fine. Other patients do fine for several years and then things one day turn. So he said to be cautious about overusing the pecs so as not to mess anything up in the future. I had Strattice dermal matrix put in with my revision and it helps for malpositioning, rippling, symmestia also, I bet it would indeed help in your case. Perhaps find a doc who uses the matrix? It's like an internal bra at the bottom of the implant when it's under the muscle. I wouldn't go with overs either at this point.

Great thanks for the advise. I will definitely ask about the matrix.

I will let you know what my surgeon says. I feel frustrated as I dont really want to have another surgery and I am really hoping he will not make me pay full price for him to fix them :/ the feedback I have been getting makes it sound like the best option for me since it is so bad is to move them to subglandular which I worry will have rippling and risk of capsular contracture. We will see, I will check back and let everyone know.

I have had it from the get go....I mentioned it to him at a follow up and he sort of said it was normal which I thought was wrong. I do think it might be getting worse tho

I wouldn't move to overs. Not only because of the two things you mentioned but also the results are not usually as good. I have had both and I can see and feel the difference. Maybe along with Strattice, there's a doc who can go slightly dual plane -- I've read that there's some docs who can go a little less under the muscle, and then with Strattice at the bottom it'll secure their position and prevent rippling?

Yes when I saw my surgeon on friday he said he would NOT put them over the muscle. He said they would not look good on me. He recommend going in and cutting the lower edge of my muscle so that there would be less muscle coverage of the implant and therefore less distortion when I flex. This should also let my implants settle alittle more because I feel like they are high but he said he didnt think they looked too high and most women like them that way so they will have a fuller upper pole but I think I would prefer them slightly lower. Just confusing on what to do because so many surgeons have suggesting moving them to over but I am with you on this one and think my surgeon is right, that they wouldnt look as good over the muscle.

Yes I am four years post op. I do not really work out my chest at all after augmentation but still had this happen. I noticed it pretty early on tho so I am wondering if my surgeon did not release my pectoralis muscle enough? I have finally decided to go back in and see if he can do something about it as it is so noticeable in my clothes now. I see him tomorrow. Are yours under the muscle? Do yours move at all?

I'm under the muscle to. When I flex my muscle flexs but my implants shook my move. I hope your PS can help you. I wouldn't go subglanular if I were you. Keep me posted!!!!!! I'm sure things will work out!!!

Thank you. Sorry to hear about your problems. I think he actually does cut the muscle but may have not cut enough? I just hope he can fix it. It is very frustrating and embarrassing. Let me know how your turns out.
