Bottoming out after revision - will it get worse? (Photo)

Question

I had bilateral capsulorrhaphy 7 months ago and while the result on my left breast is fantastic, I fear my right one is bottoming out again. I am wondering if from the pictures given, it seems like it will continue to deteriorate or if it seems stable - if the latter, I can be content, if the former, I would likely pursue a more substantial revision with more internal support.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

For now, wear a good supporting bra always during the day. If it does not get worse, then keep what you have. if it continues to drop, you may need an internal bra with mesh. You might need to go down in size as well.

Michael S. Kluska, DO · Answer

Bottoming out is always a risk with implants especially when they are on the larger size. That said, internal support via capsulorrhaphy with the added help of Renuvion may help prevent further migration.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

It looks to me like both your implants are bottomed out.
Correcting this deformity is fairly complex and not always an easy procedure.
I suggest you look for a plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with secondary breast, augmentation surgery and has pro track record, correcting bottomed out implants.
This is typically done using permanent sutures With or without mesh or cadaver dermal products.
You should ask your provider what their experience is treating this condition.
It is very important that the inframammory fold not be violated during primary breast augmentation, 
Either continue working with your provider or seek the assistance of potentially more experienced surgeons in your community.
Best,
