6 months post-op. Are my implants bottoming out? (Photo)

Hello, thank you for your question. Implants usually it takes about 1 year after surgery for the implant to fully settle in and this just means that they sit lower. speak to your plastic surgeon if you are concerned about bottoming out it is difficult to say from this point of view.

An in person evaluation is always best, but it does appear you implants are settling low. One indication of bottoming out is when you see your incisions move forward from the crease. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns and learn about options.

Thank you for your question regarding your breast implants and for including photos!

Although photos are often great, it would be best to do an in person exam to determine if your breast implants have bottomed out.

For specific questions like this and about your recovery in general, it is best to speak directly with your doctor or doctor’s representative – such as his or her nurse, or the physician on call for the practice. You will likely get many differing opinions from members of the RealSelf Community, but they have not personally seen or examined you. Nobody should know you or your unique set of circumstances better than your doctor. If you feel you are not being listened to or you are doubting your doctor’s recommendations, then it is certainly within your rights to seek a second opinion and get the advice from another board certified physician.

Best Wishes.
