I am 4 years post op. I’ve been having a lingering discomfort in my implants for a few months, with noticeable discomfort when I put any pressure under where my scar is.
Answer: Am I bottoming out? It doesn't appear to me you are bottoming out, rather your breasts are falling off of your implant. In other words there is a disconnection between your implants and your breasts. We want the implant to be centered under your nipple but it appears your breasts nipples are lower than the center of the implant and a lift would be needed to return your breasts to the correct position. A lift would reposition your nipple to the correct spot and a lift would also reshape your breast to give you a rounder look.

Answer: Am I bottoming out? Your limited photos show no evidence of bottoming out, but without a better view of the incisions and the bottom of the breasts, this can't be completely confirmed. If you are having pain, a visit to your surgeon for evaluation would be appropriate. You should also consider a visit to your primary care physician or gynecologist. There are multiple potential causes of breast pain, many of which may not be related to the implant.

Answer: Breasts You are sagging but are not bottoming out from looking at your photos. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and being checked.

Answer: No I don't see bottoming out. Skin can stretch over time. Skin is elastic due to large implants. If you are having pain... an ultrasound or MRI can help detect any issues. Best to ask your board certified plastic surgeon for advice. Good luck, Andrew Cohen

Answer: Waterfall deformity You are not bottoming out. That is when the implant migrates inferior to the breast tissue, typically below the natural inframammary fold, leading to 'double bubble' as well. What is happening to you is the opposite: your breast implants are in good position with an intact inframammary fold, but your breast tissue is 'falling off' the implant like water over a cliff, hence 'waterfall'. To correct your issue a breast lift would need to be performed.
