When the breast implants move or take on an abnormal shape with activation of the pectoralis muscles, it’s known as an animation deformity, or “flexion distortion.” It’s a common complication that can occur when the breast implant is placed underneath the muscle during surgery. Active individuals who work out often may suffer from this more, as the chest muscles are flexed.
Who is a good candidate for breast animation correction?
Patients suffering from implants that appear unnatural when the chest muscles are flexed will find breast animation correction surgery to be highly rewarding. Patients should have a good self-image and be in good mental and physical health with a clear understanding of surgical risks.
Clients should also be non-smokers with realistic expectations for their results. Dr. Lee will assess your candidacy on an individual basis during your confidential Beverly Hills consultation.
