Dear Doctors, I've had a concern about my right implant. It has been 3 months post op from my first BA along with tummy tuck. I'd like to have your professional opinion on whether you think my right breast implant has bottomed out. How would be the best way to fix it? And how long I should wait to fix the issue? I want to make sure this is the proper way to handle the situation. Thanks in advance.
Answer: Revision surgery required Your right breast implant has bottomed out. The best way to fix this problem is to work on the scar capsule inside to change the shape of the breast.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Right implant bottoming out. What would be the best way to fix it? I am sorry to hear about the concerns you have after breast augmentation surgery. The breast implant positioning concerns that you have are visible in the photographs you have posted. If the breast implant position/asymmetry is of concern, capsulorraphy techniques (internal suture repair of the breast implant pockets) may be indicated. This involves removal of a segment of breast implant capsule among the inferior/lower aspect of the left breast implant pocket. The 2 edges of capsule tissue are sutured to one another with suture. This procedure reduces the size of the implant pocket and prevents the descent of the implant, keeping the breast implant in better position on the chest wall and keeping the nipple/areola complex better centered on each breast mound. You may find the attached link, discussing breast implant displacement concerns, helpful to you. Best wishes.

Answer: Implant Asymmetry You have some asymmetry of your breasts, but you have to be examined. Many women don't realize that the breasts are never perfectly symmetrical and the asymmetries are more obvious after the augmentation. Please discuss this with your plastic surgeon or another plastic surgeon to see if a revision may be indicated.

Answer: Breast implant bottoming out Thank you for you question and photos.I would certainly agree with the others answering this question, a pre operative photograph would be helpful to determine the level of the breast fold prior to surgery.However, based on the increased visibility of the incision on your right breast, I think it is likely you have some degree of bottoming out. I would discuss this and all concerns with your surgeon. Thankfully, there are ways to correct this surgically. Best regards,Dr Stutman
