Will permanent stitches correct bottoming out?

May 7, 2016
Asked By:ridel3 in Briarcliff Manor, NY

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.
