Could I Have Bottomed Out?
I am 4 weeks post op and have been having pain on my left breast. First I noticed my left had dropped and seemed I had bottomed out. I went to see the nurse at my PS office and she reassured me I was ok. After a week I started feeling pain more intense each day. The pain starts on my incision and moves up to my nipple area. Its also painful when I walk, I have to hold my breast it feels like something's loose. Sensitive when I massage too.I have 450cc silicone high profile under muscle.

Pain Following Breast Implant Surgery
The changes and pain that you are experiencing may only be a normal reaction to implants. I recommend that you wear a well supported sports bra during recovery. If the pain persists or becomes worse, however, you should consult your surgeon to be safe.

Breast Implant Bottoming Out

Photos are helpful, and sometimes essential to allow us to answer your questions
In this case a photo would be required for anyone to answer your question. Bottoming out happens when the implant starts to slide down and subsequently the nipple appears to be sitting high and pointing upward

Bottomed out?
It's difficult to answer you question without at least one photo. Since the plastic surgeon's nurse saw you and said that you didn't have bottoming out, we'll have to assume she knows enough to give you a good assessment. If she thought you were bottoming out, she may have recommended additional support for your breasts. Many women have symptoms similar to yours after augmentation (especially with 450cc) due to the weight of the implants stretching tissues and nerves. ...
