Hello. I am 10 months post op - 295cc implant with internal bra/galaflex mesh. They’ve always felt very heavy despite. I am now planning for a revision with more mesh. I asked if I needed a smaller implant and was told I did not. Will adding more mesh prevent me from bottoming out again? I was under the impression the internal bra was supposed to prevent that in the first place. I don’t want to have corrective surgeries every year. Should I ask for a smaller implant?
