I'm 9 weeks post-op. I got 325 cc silicone gel under the muscle. My incision scar is high, as well as my nipples. Am i bottoming out?
Answer: Bottoming out Yes it appears you are. In the very early period, taping or wearing a strap under the breasts can help correct this. But more than likely, correction will involve a return to surgery to suture the breast capsule under the implants. You should eventually have a great result. Best wishes!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Bottoming out? Thank you for your pictures. Your bottoming out. You have excess distance between your nipple and your fold. This produces a high incision that is visible and a high upwardly pointing nipple. I would recommend revision of this by using an internal bra method (STRATTICE)Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS FACS

Answer: Avoiding bottoming out after breast augmentation A large implant in a relatively small breast that doesn't have strong tissues will tend to bottom out over time. There are some manuevers that can be performed intraoperatively to avoid this complication. One of the most important things is to avoid overdissection of the breast fold. This alone will help avoid the complication. So prevention is the best thing, but if bottoming out becomes apparent early on I would recommend wearing a supportive bra 24/7. It takes a few months for the body to form scar tissue that will hold an implant on the chest wall and while that process is going on wearing a supportive bra may help prevent downward migration of the implant. In my patients that I'm concerned may drop farther than I want (because they wanted a larger size for their breast), I have them wear a supportive bra 24/7 if the implants have settled before the 3 month period. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Answer: Bottoming out I would suggest wearing an underwire bra and hopefully catching the end of the inflammatory period to scar down the bottom of your breasts
