Implants have bottomed out - should I go through with a revision? (photos)

Dear Unicorn4456,
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.
Bottoming out can also occur if an implant is too large for the breast pocket. That is why it is important to choose an implant size that's correct for your body. I perform numerous measurements in the office to determine optimal implant size for my patient's bodies.
If you are concerned, please check it with your plastic surgeon for reassurance and to further discuss your options and possibility of revision.

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.
