Is Explantation the Best Option for Bottomed out Implants?

I had 2 failed bottoming out and lateral displacement revisions. My Breast Implants are 350cc. The problems is in the first surgeon, not implants. My second surgeon attempted everything: sutures, implants replacement, but all failed again.

Do you think that after 1 year my damaged breast tissue will be total healed and ready for augmentation with happy ending?

My surgeon wants to explant, to make a capsulotomy and rolling the capsules to create new folders, then I need to wait 1 year to heal and then reimplant.

Please, help me! Thank you in advance!

Options for "bottoming out"

Explantation with interval maturation of a reinforced inframammary fold, as you describe, is a conservative approach, which can't really be criticized.  However some women are unwilling to wait a full year, at least in this country.  A novel approach, which is still in its infancy, is the use of ADMs (acellular dermal matrices) to recreate the inframammary fold and support the implant by providing an inferolateral "hammock", which is sutured to the base of the... more

Repair bottoming out

Without knowing exactly what the other surgeons did for you, I can not tell for sure what to do for you. But, usually explantation is not necessary to fix bottoming out. Usually reconstructing or repositioning the fold is all you need done.
