I posted a "?" a few wks ago w/ pics regarding a concern with "bottoming out" of my left implant. 3 dr. on this site, as well as my PS, assured me this was not the case. Update: I recently visited my PS & he assured me that all is well. Visually, I agree. However, I'm experiencing some pressure/pain on the crease of my left implant, it intensifies when I touch/massage. It feels like the implant is slipping below the pocket. What types of things would cause this feeling? I am 6 wks post op. Incisions Healing Very Well.

Answer: Bottoming breasts The picture you provided does not show classic bottoming out or ptosis of the crease. There is a slight but natural appearing asymmetry of the crease with the left being somewhat lower than the right.It takes six months to fully recover from a breast augmentation. Then what you see is what you get. That is the best time to treat such things as breast asymmetries if you are still concerned.As for the discomfort, nerve regeneration or umbilical vein thrombosis are possible causes. Neither are dangerous and both resolve on their own.Discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. He or she will take you through this.I hope this helps.

Answer: Pain at Incision Following Breast Augmentation Most likely, pain at the incision at 6 weeks is related to the nerves returning to full function. Sometimes after surgery, patients will experience numbness or changes in sensation. This will recover and can have times where the sensation is increased. I would massage the area to desensitize. As for the feeling of the fold, I would address this with your surgeon as there is nothing one can tell from a photo.
