Three breasts surgeries and nearly $30k later, and I'm still having the same problem. 2 out of 3 of those procedures were 'corrective' surgeries to fix this bottoming out/indentation issue. Supposedly there is an 'internal bra' in place to correct the bottoming out issue, yet just a few months after my 3rd corrective surgery my right breast has bottomed out again. What should I do? Should I remove the implants entirely and fat graft to my breasts? This has become so expensive and discouraging

Answer: Addressing bottoming out Thanks for your question, I’m sorry to hear how discouraging this must be for you. Fat transfer is not a smart or wise idea for 30-50% of the fat will inevitably die. Clumps of dead fat may be felt on a self-monthly breast exam or show up on a mammogram and affect the screening and give the patient unnecessary worry. You may have a capsular contracture, but I am unable to confirm that from pictures alone. It is not uncommon that implants move or malposition over time. Implants are NOT safe devices and they’re full of problems.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Your implants are too heavy for the skin envelope to hold. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.
