Breast Animation Correction
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 workout often may suffer from this more, as the chest muscles are flexed.
What is breast animation correction?
To correct a breast animation deformity, Dr. Lee will use a variety of innovative techniques based on the degree of implant deformity. During the procedure, she will revise the implant pocket by moving the implant to above the muscle, if possible, and covering it with an acellular dermal matrix (a type of scaffolding that helps remodel the breast implant pocket for a better placement).
What are the benefits of breast animation correction?
- Minimized movement of the implants
- More natural-appearing breast cleavage
- Improved aesthetic appearance of the implants
- Restoration of breast symmetry
- Long-lasting outcome
- Relief of discomfort
“Dr. Lee is wonderful! Unlike my first plastic surgeon, Dr. Lee actually listened to what my wants and needs were. My pain is gone and my breasts look and feel a 100X better! She is a very thorough, competent, and caring doctor. I highly recommend her!”
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.
What is the surgery like?
Animation deformity correction is an outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia. It typically takes 2-3 hours depending on the severity of the deformity, and the implants are often exchanged. Local anesthesia is also administered to help minimize discomfort following the surgery.
What is the recovery like?
Dr. Lee advises patients to be off work for approximately 7-10 days. Most of the pain is within the first week. Dr. Lee will customize an individual recovery plan for each patient.
