24 yrs old female pre op 32 A Post op 500cc high profile gummy implant behind the muscle wall. since my surgery in April 2013 my nipples always pop out of my shirts or bikini tops and my breast on the left side feels like it is very heavy and could possibly be getting worse 3 months after my breast augmentation I noticed the left breast was very firm and did not drop like the right breast. MY ps said it was a contracture and I had surgery to correct. What should I do I am not happy
Answer: Nipples placed too high on chest wall. Bottoming out. I am sorry to hear about/see the problems you are having after breast augmentation surgery. I think your concerns are appropriate; your breast implant does seem to sit quite low on your chest wall, consistent with breast implant displacement ("bottoming out”).

Answer: Nipples appear too high Nipples are not "moved" during a breast augmentation procedure. Your nipples simply appear to be too high because your implants have been placed or settled into a pocket that is lower than ideal. You will certainly need a revision to address the position of the implants. Please convey your concerns to your surgeon or else seek out a second opinion from a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Nipples placed too high on chest wall. Bottoming out. Too heavy. What should I do? From your side view picture, it looks like you had a constricted breast deformity preoperatively. The periareolar tissue is protruding out into your nipple. It also looks like your lower pole skin has stretched letting the small diameter high profile implants sit lower on your chest which causes your nipples to come out the top of your swimsuits. Your capsular contracture could also be worsening this too.It really requires an in-person consultation to determine the best course of treatment, but a larger diameter implant (which can be accomplished by going to a lower projection for the same volume) will help give you more upper pole fullness. You may also need the inferior pockets tightened and capsule release superiorly, but again, that is difficult to determine from your pictures alone.

Answer: Bottoming out It appears as if the breast implant is now too low, making the nipples appear to high on the breast. The nipples are definitely not too high. It is an implant problem. Raising the IMF and moving the implant higher will improve the problem. This is straight forward and your PS can give you all the options. Good luck.
