I had my Mommy Makeover done June 7th. I am having a slight problem with my right breast. The office said that it is my tissue swelling. I just want to see what you all think. Does it look like it is bottoming out? If would you suggest another surgery?!

Bottoming out after breast augmentation

It appears as though your implants are in great position. They'll naturally fall a little after surgery, but if they fall anymore I would go back to your plastic surgeon for a possible lift.

Post op Progress

I agree with most of my colleagues here. You are not bottoming out. And I would not recommend any revisional surgery at this time. Look back at where you started before surgery and then evaluate how far you've come (ie review your before and after pictures). Best of luck.

Don't see much of a problem at this point.

It's a bit too early to diagnose problems with the result. To my eye, I see no significant issues. A bit of asymmetry is expected and your's is certainly not out of the norm.

Looks good so far.

Hello Jen, Things look pretty good so far. If I knew what your pre-op appearance was like I could maybe tell you more. Give things time to settle. Then re-evaluate. Best Regards, John Di Saia MD

ASymmetry of breasts

Everyone has asymmetry and it is a bit early to see the final results. GIve it some time. The irregularity medially in the right may resolve.

Asymmetry after Mommy Makeover

There appears to be some mild asymmetry between the medial aspects of your breasts, but it does not seem to be bottoming out. You should probably allow at least a few more months before considering any revision surgery, and maintain a discussion with your plastic surgeon.

Revisionary breast surgery

Based on the photo you provided, it does not appear that your implants have bottomed out at all. There is slight assymetry in the shape of the breasts which is considered normal. It is difficult to provide perfect symmetry when performing a breast augmentation. It also depends on how far along you are post-op surgery. It could be that your implants have not fully settled and it may be soon to see the final results of surgery. Final results are usually seen 6 months to a year post-op... more

You are not " bottoming out"

There is a little indentation on the mid line lower right breast. Your right breast has a little different shape then the left. It looks like your right breast and nipple point out to the side of your body more then your left. If you look at your pre op pictures you will probably notice that it was same shape prior to your surgery. I would suggest discuss your concerns with your doctor but most of these things... more

Mommy Make Over Revision

You are not Bottoming out. There is a slightly different contour of the right breast at the inner lower aspect. I think your results are excellent. I would wait at least 3 months or so to see if that small irregularity of your right breast settles out. Dr. ES

VIDEO: Mommy makeover and bottoming out

This is difficult to assess from one view and I would not call this bottoming out. I suspect that this is may be associated with minor breast asymmetry that existed prior to breast augmentation. You have an excellent result and you should enjoy it. As suggested below you may want to consider skin taping. However, I prefer a cut out underwire bra to hold the inframammary fold in place while the capsule forms. see video

Bottoming out after breast implant surgery

I would not call that bottoming out. That looks like the pocket extends a bit more downward and inward on the right. These minor implant shifts can frequently be corrected by wearing a wrap sometimes with skin taping to fix the implant in postion as the capsule is forming in the first few weeks after surgery.
