Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, your breasts do not seem like they are bottoming out. Please follow up with your surgeon if you are concerned.
Thank you for your question. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation. This way, you can express your concerns and discuss all your options.
