Over a year since my BA (290cc under muscle silicone) and I hate how far apart they are and feel like they have dropped too low. Is this normal or are they bottoming out and do I need a revision? Current photos and pre BA attached.
Answer: Bottoming out? Your pre op photos suggest that you have more fullness to your breasts below the nipple naturally. If you are bottoming out, it is mild. The distance between the breasts is due to your anatomy. You may be able to improve this somewhat with surgery, but it is important to discuss expectations with your surgeon.

Answer: Bottoming out implants? From your photos it does not appear as if the implants have bottomed out. They have likely settled over time, however, the projecting portion of the implant appears to be centered under the nipples and you do not appear to have a "double bubble" phenomenon that you may see in implants that have bottomed out. The double bubble refers to the appearance of the implant that has fallen below the fold of the breast. As always, it is best to discuss with your surgeon who is most familiar with your surgery.

Answer: Implants You have some bottoming out which can be corrected with an internal bra of mesh for better support. This can also be useful in tightening your lateral pockets so that your implants do not push out to the sides as much. You appear to have little breast tissue to support the implants. Don't go larger. You still will have the gap between your breasts since this is your anatomy. If you have any donor fat, it could be added to the inner part of your breasts to help decrease the gap.

Answer: Are my implants bottoming out and would I benefit from a revision? Hello and thank you for posting with before and after photos. They are very helpful. I can see from your before photos that your breasts were already far apart so in this case the issue is mostly due to patient anatomy. This is very hard to correct with small implants that do not need a lift. Placing the implants closer to each other would reduce the space, but it would also make your nipples face outwards. Other options for filling out the space between your breasts would be larger implants or wider implants. In any case your results are very good!
