Please Help!!! I Think Im Bottoming Out!

Thanks for all the posted photos, it really helps. I do not believe you have bottoming out, but a very good result with slight volume asymmetry. Either fill the left or deflate the right.

Don't panic. Breast implants are mechanical devices, NOT natural biological tissue. Your skin envelope appears tight, and it will take time for the skin to relax and accommodate your implants. The photos, in my opinion, show well positioned implants, and I agree with your surgeon that support may help prevent them from dropping further.

? Bottoming Out ?

Unfortunately, this is a common issue with Breast Augmentation. Eighty percent of women are noticeable asymmetric when it comes to breast size, shape or nipple/areola positioning. Often women don't notice this prior to getting breast implants, but after surgery, they are looking at their breast much more frequently and much more critically. Unfortunately, you didn't include any before pictures to compare to, but implants don't change your nipple position. They... more
