I know there are a number of factors that can cause bottoming out, but in my research of women with smaller implants (under 275 and high profile/narrow) I seem to have come across A LOT of women who ended up bottoming out. I wondered if it may be because it would be more likely to over dissect pockets since the implant is small, which may be a part of the reason I keep coming across this? I’m getting 250cc HP and am alarmed by the number of woman who bottomed out with this size or smaller.

Answer: Bottoming out Bottoming out is more prevalent in patients with large, heavier implants versus small implants and those with thinner skin. In these cases sometimes bioabsorbable mesh can be used to support the tissues and help prevent bottoming out. It can also be related to surgical technique during augmentation surgery.

Answer: Small implant size definitely Not related to bottoming out; no worries- good luck Multiple factors including the surgeon dissecting to low can be a cause- not a small implant size.

Answer: Bottoming out following breast augmentation with breast implants Great question! Risk factors for bottoming out following breast augmentation typically include the following: 1. Thinner lower pole skin from weight loss and aging. 2. Use of heavier (larger implants 3. Use of smooth implants under a very strong thick pectoralis muscle key is that you discuss your concerns with a Plastic Surgeon who is board certified and demonstrates an expertise in Breast Augmentation.

Answer: Bottoming out I would reassure you that while bottoming out can and does happen, I have never heard / read or experienced it being related to smaller implants. Many actually believe larger implants have a greater likelihood of bottoming out with time, given the heavier weight of the implant and its increased likelihood to descend down the chest wall as a result. Precise surgical technique can prevent bottoming out, particularly ensuring that the inframammary fold (IMF) is not dissected / violated. This fold is a fascial structure that secures the skin to the chest wall muscle fascia and maintains the position of the breast (and implant in this case). Dissolvable mesh is also becoming increasingly more popular in breast augmentation to prevent bottoming out and is commonly placed along the lower edge of the implant to reinforce the IMF and maintain a longer term result.
