What causes bottoming-out and can that occur without implants? I'm considering a lift without implants and wondering if bottoming-out is something I could possibly encounter down the line.
Answer: What causes bottoming out? Bottoming out is when the implant settles to the bottom of the tissue and a majority of the implant is below the nipple area. If you look at a breast, about 70-80% of the fullness is below the nipple and only 10-20% of the breast is above. To correct this, best options are to go with a slightly smaller implant, and also to consider a breast lift where you tighten the bottom of the breast and allow the implant to sit in a nicer position where you have a good portion of the implant that sits above the nipple. So you have maybe 40% above and about 60% below. I think that is a more pleasing contour, than when 80% of the implant is sitting below the nipple.

Answer: Bottoming out It is typically caused by weakness of the tissues, or implant weight. There are techniques that can be used to lessen the risk of this over time.
