Saline Implants...bottoming Out?

Thanks for your review. I had a revision about 5 weeks ago and things are great. It was done with sutures so I do have a little concern about it happening again. My doctor said that the risk of them bottoming out again is slight. He has me wearing an under wire bra and wants me to continue to wear it for another 4 weeks. They look great now. We'll see how it goes. Luckily he covered all expenses. I didn't even have to pay for anesthesia. He was able to use the same areolar incision that I already had, so no extra scars.

Hi girl...I looked at your picture and we do have the same problem. I went for a visit with my MD 2 weeks ago. He said that both sides have bottomed out. I notice this one week post op on my left! He told me to wear a bra with an underwire in it for the next 2 months and then come back. He said if they have not replaced themselves that he would take me back to the OR and place sutures to set them back in place. I have been wearing an under wire bra for 23 1/2 hours a day for the past 2 weeks and have yet to notice a difference but we'll see. I want to do all that I can to not get surgery again. I havn't discussed payment with him. I feel that I should not have to pay anything!!! From the research I have done....most implants bottom out because the inplant was either too big for your body or the doctor made the pocket too big in the first place. Do you have to pay for yours? I have seen and heard many different stories and some have to pay and some don't. Good luck with your revision!

Hi there.....I am having a similar problem. Yesterday I posted a similar question. I am 2 weeks post op and my Right breast looks much lower, I can feel the bottom of the implant as well. I tought my implant was bottoming out already. I had an appt with my doctor this morning and he told me it would settle.....we'll see! Good luck.
