It seems as though your doctor has waived all of his fees to correct your issue and the fees you will be paying are the hospital fees for snesthesia, etc. This is pretty typical for most plastic surgeons.
The bottoming out may not necessarily be his fault, it is one of the risks we take when considering and actually going through with augmentation.
Your breasts do look really good though, and once you can get that fixed, they'll look even better.
Some people don't have any charges if the fix is done with local anesthesia which drastically reduces the costs. Maybe you are not a good caniditate for that, I don't know. other doctor opinions would be the best way to find out.
It has been a few years since you posted this, have you gotten it fixed?
Best of luck to you~

looks like you just went too big to me

I have to agree with you when you say your right implant has bottomed out. It has but it is fixable. The scar should be sitting right under your implant not on it. I guess your surgeon is gonna have you pay for anesthesia and room fee but he is not charging his fee.

Good luck with your redo!

Try wearing a small bikini with wire top on that side only, day and night. Place it sort of over the breast, so the wire will press on it lightly and move it up gradually. Same results as you and this worked well to move it up. Best to do early so it will heal that way, and stay in position.

you got amazing set there girl. i can see why your unhappy though. honestly my best option would be go back and tell the doctor to do them properly no charge cause you already paid and you pretty much gotta pay again. if he wont do it for free cause he f***ed up i would go to a lawyer. the comment you made about your breasts look like youve given up. trust me. you prolly dun need to pay to get them done right by that same doctor, just maybe pay a lawyer a grand or something close to it. you dont even need to pay a lawyer straight up, they take payments. dont give up cutieee

what size were u be4 575ccs?

looks like the pocket at the bottom of your breast need to be closed higher up. i would go to another surgeon, ask them whats wrong, and ask them if the surgeon has an obligation to fix it, if not, THEN.... how much would he charge!!!

I recently had my breast implants removed after 20 years of costly problems. I had a similar problem like in your picture where it looks like there is a crease there. This is not going away and will need surgery to try and correct. Even after 4 different costly revisions I still had problems with scar tissue forming. I am very happy now that my implants are out and my outcome was not as bad as I invisioned. My main point of this message is if you really want to keep them then try a revision but if you continue to have problems then consider having them taken out. THe PS will never give you a guarantee but with them out your problems will be over. It took me 20 years to find the nerve and make the decision to take them out because I was so afraid of the outcome - I just wish I would of done it waaaaaay sooner and saved myself tons of money but I never thought of it as an option and no one ever told me it was an option, but it is and no more waste of money. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck whatever you decision, I've been there depressed and unsure what to do so I can totally relate. God bless

Hey girl. Your breasts look really good. I've had 3BA surgeries for a couple different problems over the last few years, including "bottoming out" and capsules. Unfortunately BA isnt perfect and there are always imperfections, some from just the un-eveness of our own bodies. However the doctor should most definetley fix the problems you have (bottoming out and the dent when you flex) but please don't be too hard on yourself, they seriously look really good. I was sad to hear you cry yourself to sleep. I'm sure you will love them soon as you get the minor problems fixed. I really love mine despite the problems I've and changing sizes twice. Still mine are the best things I ever bought for myself!! Good luck!

Hey, if you could please please please e-mail about what you are going to do.. im very curious.. whats weird is when i look at your pictures my breasts are the SAME exact way after having surgery.. Expect i had surgery june 22..almost 4 months ago.PLEASE email me. im 19 years old a freshman in college and should NOT be dealing with this. ksb09c@fsu.edu is my email. PLEASE email me !

Hi MISSA! Just out of curiousity, do you know if they have to exchange out the implants for the surgery? I'm assuming that they would? I believe my doctor will make me pay for the surgery center as well as the implants.... I wish you the best of luck on your surgery in Oct., I hope you keep us posted on how they look after the revision.

I had a BA done in Feb 2009! 450 cc gel under the muscle & MINE look exactly the same! I notified the doctor that I was extremely unhappy with the results & now have surgery in Oct for them to be fixed free of charge?! The only thing you have to think is ... what will they end up like after ?!

are you kidding me? i dunno about you but i think your breasts look great!...the scars are going to fade, the nipples look like normal nipples, actually GREAT, and the reference to the uneven breasts--well that can be easily fixed...so I mean all in all i think they look good and alot better than some breasts Ive seen augmented...relax and give them time, if your still unhappy get them redone..thats all. Im also surprised as to how none of the doctors have yet commented on "when the dat of your surgery was" and when this photo was taken...if you have gotten your implants less than 6 months to a year ago theres really nothing to worry about. Like the scar created under your breasts needs to heal, so does the "scar" tissue inside your breasts need to heal...maybe the other breast bottomed out, but im no expert.if it has, it is quite fixable. Ive seen before and afters where the breasts were uneven and tight th first few months after surgery, but after a few months, they went down, and evened out...also, when you get a revision,as all breast augmentation patients need a revision at some time in their life, you should consider smaller implants, and silicone, which almost ALWAYS seem to ensure better results than large SALINE implants.

I found out it is due to bottoming... Once the doctor fixed it will it look like my left breast?

Thank you so much for all the comments... It means a lot to me... I heard it is fixable so I will have to come back in to meet with the PS to fix it... I hope it will all be fixed... Thank you again... The cost to fix it is around 1,000 dollars.. But I have to fix it...
