I am about 4 months post op and my left breast sticks out to the side a lot more and i also have this indentation in my cleavage. It’s also noticeably bigger than my right. I’ve reached out to my surgeons office a few times now and I’m still waiting to hear back. What are my options? Feeling pretty discouraged I’ve been trying to be patient. I started wearing a wired bra 24-7 right before i hit the 3 month mark per my surgeons offices instructions.
Answer: Breast Asymmetry Based on you photos, it appears that one side is a bit lower than the other, but it is difficult to tell if this is due to bottoming out or if it is normal asymmetry of your folds.You are doing the right thing by trying to contact your surgeon. If they are not getting back to you, I recommend that you see another plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation

Answer: Bottoming out Dear christinaallie,bottoming out occurs when the implant falls below the current breast crease or inframammary line. It's more likely to happen with inframammary incisions, which is why I try not to use the inframammary approach to any breast surgery.

Answer: Am I bottoming out at 4 months post-op? (Photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately without an in-person examination it is difficult to confirm your suspicions of bottoming out but I can appreciate the differences in your right and left breasts. Unfortunately after 4 months it is unlikely that conservative treatment such as a bra will correct the issue and a revision may be required. I would recommend discussing with your surgeon, or seek a second opinion, as to what treatment options exist. Best wishes.

Answer: Am I bottoming out at 4 months post-op? I am sorry to hear about/see the problems you are having after breast augmentation surgery. I think your concerns are appropriate; one of your breast implants does seem to sit low on your chest wall, consistent with breast implant displacement ("bottoming out”).

Answer: Breast Implant Revision? Based on your pictures, it does appear that you have a degree of symmetry more than would be expected. Without an examination it is hard to say what is going on, but it certainly does appear that the one breast appears wider and fuller in the inferior aspect versus the other side. You are far enough out now that I would not expect any more changes with regards to swelling going down, etc. I would go in for a follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon or have a second opinion consultation if needed with another surgeon. I hope this helps.
