I had a breast augmentation 01/16. I've had several follow ups since, because my right breast was much lower than the left. Initially the doctor thought it may have "dropped" earlier than the left. At my last follow up he agreed that it was not where it should be. The scar is in the middle of the bottom half, my nipple is much higher, and now that I'm regaining muscle it is even more prevalent. He suggested putting in permanent stitches, which I'm scheduled to have done in two weeks.

Answer: Bottoming Out Repair Bottoming out of an implant is very often repaired with permanent sutures in various techniques utilizing the capsule for strength. This is called a capsullorhaphy or internal bra. There are some patients who need more than this type of repair and will require some added material to support the implant. Make sure that your board certified plastic surgeon is comfortable performing revisions since not all surgeons are adept at it. I hope this helps.

Answer: Bottoming out Hello, inserting permanent or slowly-dissolving sutures along the lower fold of the breast is one way to correct bottoming out. There are other options like temporarily removing the implant and allowing the breast to heal, inserting the implant into a different pocket, using a special material to act like an internal sling, etc. They all have different advantages and disadvantages so your surgeon will be your best source of advice, based on your unique anatomy and problem.
