Have my breast implants bottomed out? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. In the pictures, you have sent, I can see that lower pole looks a little long and the fact that the incision position is now higher than the implant, means that you are dealing with slight bottoming out (inferior malposition). Judging from pre-op picture, your breasts tend to have a longer pole naturally, so your results are reflected with the original breast shape. Of course, the result would be better if the scar level is aligned with the implant borders, but I would not consider your result as necessarily very bad. Slight malposition of smooth implant is normal for people with thinly formed implant capsule, so they usually need to have an additional support from bras with under-wires which is wide enough to support your breasts.

Your breast surgery result looks very nice. At first glance of the photos, the implants do look a little "bottomed out", meaning the implant is sitting mainly in the lower portion of the breast, however, when I look at your pre-op photo, I see that you do have a little bit of a high nipple with more lower pole than average. You do not have a bad result, you have a very good result.
All the best to you,

Good afternoon,
You do have some bottoming out, which I correct with the Original Internal Bra- my strong permanent internal suturing technique. I first developed this technique 20 years ago, and today it is the most common revision procedure I perform, 5-6 times a week- it works and it lasts!

Thank you for your question.

The breast, which is mainly composed of skin, adipose tissue and mammary gland, is fixed to the rib cage by the resistance of the skin and suspensory ligaments. If suspensory ligaments are loose and skin tension is low, a breast may sag regardless of its size. Even breasts with small volume may sag due to loosening of the skin and suspensory ligaments due to births and breastfeeding. At the same time, even though it is large, a breast with strong skin structure and ligaments might not sag. As a result, the characteristics and structure of each breast differ from one another.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. What is most important is that you like the way your results have turned out. If that is so, enjoy them and do not worry about what they are considered.
