Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for sharing your photos. It seems that your implants have bottomed out. In this case, a revision surgery would be required. I would contact your surgeon and discuss the next option with you. Best of luck !

Answer: Nipples are high Thank you for your question and photographs. Your photograph indicates that you have what is referred to as "bottoming out" where the implant falls below the infra-mammary fold. My advice is to follow up with your plastic surgeon to discuss your result. Best of luck.

Answer: Bottoming out Based on your pictures, it appears that your implants have "bottomed out." By this, I mean that the bulk of your implant is sitting below your nipples rather than being centered behind them. This can be corrected by reconstructing the natural crease below your breasts at a higher level. Sometimes additional material (Alloderm, Surgimend, FlexHd, etc.) may be needed to add additional support and prevent this situation from occurring again. Unfortunately, I suspect that efforts to elevate the crease under your breast is going to result in your current surgical scar being located more on your chest wall than in the crease or under the breast. This is one of the reasons that I do not like this particular incision. You can move the crease up and give you a better shape to your breasts but you can't move the scar up.
