Muscle flex distortion
When breast implants are placed under the muscle, sometimes the muscle can scar onto the breast capsule of scar tissue. When the chest muscle is flexed, it can lead to a distortion of the breast mound. This is a relatively rare occurence and can typically be corrected. It is only noticed with flexing. Some women will want it corrected while others do not find it concerning enough to undergo another cosmetic surgery.

She presented at her routine follow up appointment and noted that when she flexed her muscles both of her breasts changed shape and she developed a crease. This is an example of her chest muscle scaring down onto her breast capsule. She did not want a second surgery and was just curious about the cause.
