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

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.

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.
