325cc saline. Dr never said if they were under or over the muscle. He said it bottomed out because I was on a steroid a few months before my surgery. I've had these since 2009

Answer: Bottoming out If your pain is due to the thinness of tissue with pressure on the nerves, especially the one near the lower outer quadrant, then respositioning of the implants under the chest wall muscles will usually relieve this discomfort. If your implants are very large, then you may need a dermal matrix to help suspend the implant. If you pain is due to infection, then explantation may be needed if antibiotics do not resolve the issue. You can usually differentiate because elevating the implants with your hands will relieve the discomfort if it is due to bottoming out and pressure on the nerve.

Answer: I'm having horrible pain. My implants have bottomed out. How long will a rippled implant last? I'm very sorry to hear of your discomfort. Rippling of saline implants is a not uncommon problem and there is no easy way to correct rippling.Bottoming out is a significant problem and may be the source of your discomfort. Bottoming out can be corrected with a revision of the breast implant pocket and support of the implant with acellular dermal matrix. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast implant revision. You might consider silicon gel implants for replacement as they are less likely to cause rippling.
