Hi i would like multiple opinions on this questions: I'm a petite asian girl. (110 pounds, 5'2, pre op: A cup, bwd is 12.5). Im planning to get 415 cc's which is my max for my bwd. What are my chances of bottoming out, i know noone can give me an exact percentage but i just want to know if its in the 50% range or whichever range. I have attached a before photo of myself so you can have a better idea on how much breast tissue i have)
Answer: Chance of bottoming out Thank you for your question and the photos. It's very difficult to give you the chances of bottoming out. My guess would be less than 5%. I do feel that the 415 mL implant that you've chosen is too big for you. I think a HP 350-375 would fit your body better. Good luck. DrMaz

Answer: Bottoming Out Risks Breast augmentation is a safe procedure with a relatively low complication rate.Bottoming out is a complication defined by progressive descent of the implant below the already established fold or crease at the base of the breast where the mound meets the chest wall. The risks of bottoming out are certainly lower than 50%. While it is difficult to give an accurate assessment of risk without an in-person exam and an assessment of anatomy/skin quality, the risk is likely to fall in the single digits (less than 5%). There are a few well known risk factors for bottoming out. These include:-Large or heavy implants (exert greater downward pressure due to gravity)-Disruption of the native fold and associated anatomy-Poor tissue qualityAs always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Complications. You seem to be a good candidate for breast implants and your chances are very high for a successful outcome. A discussion about specific complications, like bottoming out, is something you should do with your plastic surgeon. Your anatomy is favorable for low complications, but risks can increase depending on which implant size you choose. Bigger breast implants bigger risks. Good luck, Dr. Aldo

Answer: What are my chances of bottoming out and other complications? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your anatomic starting point, you should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. However, you are wise in inquiring about the risk of complications again. You will find a lot of information on this website, and on the attached link, regarding the variety of potential risks/complications associated with breast augmentation surgery. The specific risk of bottoming out should be very low (less than 1-2% would be my best estimation). The most important decision you make when it comes to avoidance of complications is careful selection of plastic surgeon. When this decision is made, variables such as good judgment and skillful execution of the procedure will follow.

Answer: Low Your risk for most complications are quite low. With proper surgery and the appropriate selection of type, size, and profile of the breast implant will further reduce the risk. You have what appears to be a relatively longer nipple to fold distance. Depending on how much your fold stretches, you may be a better candidate to use a textured breast implant.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
