Answer: What you described sounds like a condition called bottoming out. This is possible to correct
What you described sounds like a condition called bottoming out.
This can occur after some breast reduction techniques whether the majority of the tissue is kept at the bottom or the lower part of the breast.
With gravity changes this tissue moves downwards giving a longer appearance to the lower part of the breast.
This is possible to correct but normally end with further surgery in reducing and elevating this lower tissue.
It maybe worth if you are concerned about it I think it would be worthwhile scheduling a consultation with a plastic surgeon in your area to discuss the best way forward for you.

CONTACT NOW Answer: After Breast Reduction Surgery Will my Breasts Fall Down? After breast reduction surgery, the breasts may initially appear firmer and lifted due to the reduction of excess tissue and skin. However, over time, gravity, aging, and other factors can still lead to some degree of sagging. The extent to which this occurs varies among individuals and depends on factors such as skin elasticity, breast tissue composition, weight fluctuations, and overall health. To minimize the risk of significant sagging after breast reduction surgery, it's essential to follow your plastic surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully, maintain a stable weight, wear supportive bras, and avoid activities that may put strain on the breasts during the initial healing period. Additionally, staying healthy and practicing good lifestyle habits can help maintain the results of the surgery for as long as possible. If you have concerns about potential breast sagging after surgery, it's best to discuss them thoroughly with your plastic surgeon during your consultation and pre-operative appointments. They can provide guidance based on your unique circumstances.

Answer: Breast Reduction Surgery Reduces Breast Size & Lifts Breasts Into Normal Position
Breast reduction surgery accomplishes several aesthetic goals. The procedure not only reduces breast size, but also lifts the breast into normal position and reduces areola size. Unfortunately, the effects of gravity are unrelenting. Although, the breasts are lifted with this procedure, there is continuous downward pressure following surgery. This often results in recurrent breast sag. In other words, we can set the clock back, but can never stop it from ticking.
Several factors contribute to the development of recurrent breast sag. These include the size of breasts following reduction surgery, the biologic tendency of the patients tissue to stretch, and the type of breast reduction performed.
In most cases, patients are not bothered by minor amounts of breast sag. Occasionally, severe breast sag occurs with the passage of time and patients require a secondary breast lift procedure.
Despite the potential for secondary breast sag, breast reduction surgery is associated with extremely high satisfaction rates. If you’re considering this procedure, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience in this area would be appropriate.

Answer: Changes after Breast Reduction?
Congratulations on having had the breast reduction procedure; it tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.
Breast do tend to “drop and settle” after breast reduction surgery. It may take one year before you see the results of the surgery. If you have continued concerns your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to help answer questions and concerns ( after direct examination).
Best wishes.

Answer: Sagging after Breast Reduction
It is normal for gradual "settling" of the breasts after breast surgery, where gravity exerts some force on the breasts in a downward direction. There is no such thing as permanent superior fullness. The breasts will never be how they were before. The amount of recurrent sagging can be related to many factors including the residual size of your breasts, your skin tone, age, pregnancy, and whether or not you wear a bra regularly.
