I had a breast lift with Mentor high profile 350cc under the muscle implants a little under a year ago. I lost my upper pole very quickly and now wonder if I have actually bottomed out. I have sent pictures to my surgeon with no response. Unsure what to do.

Answer: Bottoming out Dear cherylweave, 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.

Answer: Implants Your implants have dropped, but neither your breast or implants have bottomed out. Please continue to wear a good bra, especially when exercising.
