My surgery was July 14 2022 I’ve lost 25lbs since surgery.. I know they have bottomed out but I’m wondering if my weight loss effected that? I feel like they look good and the idea of another surgery makes me a little panicky If I did do revision .. I would want a little larger implants.. would that look ok? will they continue to bottom out? Can they bottom out again if I have revision I think they look great in a Bikini and clothes but not perfect without.. I don’t know!
Answer: Revision I would recommend exchanging the implants and supporting them with Galaflex. In addition, I would perform an inferior mastopexy to help decrease the nipple to fold distance. What usually happens is that the implant stretches out the lower pole of the breast over time. Initially the implant position seems adequate, but the lower pole stretch always happens. I would highly recommend finding a highly trained aesthetic plastic surgeon (preferably 6 years of dedicated plastic surgery residency and 1 year of aesthetic fellowship). Best of luck!

Answer: Should I go through with a revision? I agree your breasts look great in a bikini. Even with the bottoming out they still look good without clothing. My personal opinion is to procrastinate on surgery.

Answer: Bottoming Out Women who need a breast lift who've been heavy in the past or who just happen to have more loosely elastic tissue are more prone to drop out than other women. Your recent weight loss likely had no impact on what you're seeing now. Although you've dropped out, I think that you should proceed with a revision surgery to reposition these or large implants with the additional support of an absorbable mesh. In addition, extra skin may need to be removed to shorten the vertical scar, but possibly not if larger implants are used. Please keep in mind that larger implants drop out more frequently than smaller ones.

Answer: Bottoming out Thank you for your question. You are right, and that your implants have bottomed out. Weight loss can certainly impact bottoming out as your skin loses some of its elasticity. The correction for this would be to decrease the distance from your nipple to your IMF. Placing larger implants will definitely increase your risk for bottoming out again as you’re adding more weight which will get pulled down by gravity. My recommendation at this point would be to add an internal bra for added support. With that being said, there’s no reason for you to undergo surgery unless you get to the point where you are Consistently unhappy and are willing to undergo another procedure. There’s no downside to waiting. Good luck.
