If you have had a recurrence of bottoming out after a repair with internal sutures, then you will need a different approach to correcting it. The skin and breast tissues have shown that they are not strong enough to support the implants, so the addition of internal support with something like Strattice is needed to reinforce the support.
I'm sorry to hear about the problem you have been experiencing. There are many potential causes for bottoming out. Some possibilities include that your implants are too large for your frame or your breast tissues do not have enough strength to support the implants used. Why it recurred following revision would depend upon both the cause and the method used to try to correct the issue.In general, revision of the scar capsule would be required, as well as the possible use of an acellular dermal matrix or mesh to add structural support. If the implant is too large for your frame, a decrease in implant size may also be required.I would recommend that you consult with board-certified plastic surgeons experienced at performing breast augmentation revisions. After reviewing your history (including previous operative reports, if available) and performing a physical exam, the surgeons should be able to provide you with options to correct the problem.Best wishes.
This is a tough problem - once the IMF has been distorted, you will need something stronger to hold it in place and prevent recurrence. The thing I like to use most is Strattice, which has a lot more strength than Alloderm, and doesn't stretch over time, making it ideal. But, there are some others to consider, like Galaflex. Anyways, you need at least this internal sling/bra, and maybe even more.
I am sorry to hear about the complications you have experienced. Online consultants will not be your best resource when it comes to helping you determine specific causation of the recurrent breast implant displacement problem. As you know, much will depend on exactly what type of revisionary breast operation was performed. Ultimately, you will likely be best off seeking in person consultation with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate lots of before/after photographs helping patients with this type of revisionary breast surgery. A review of your previous operative reports would be helpful. Generally speaking, revisionary breast surgery to correct breast implant bottoming out involves capsulorraphy (internal suture repair). I have found that the use of a two layer permanent suture repair is most effective in my hands, when it comes to long-term correction of breast implant position.Sometimes, depending mainly on the patient's history and physical examination, I will also use additional supportive materials such as acellular dermal matrix or biosynthetic mesh. This procedure serves to reconstruct the lower poles of the breasts and prevent migration of the breast implants too far inferiorly. Associated issues with positioning of nipple/areola complexes should improve with this operation. Make sure that the plastic surgeon who does this procedure for you can demonstrate significant experience with revisionary breast surgery. I hope this, and the attached link and video (dedicated to corrective surgery for bottoming out concerns), helps.
This is a very difficult problem and I have seen it in my practice on very rare occasion. The most important thing you can do in revising this problem is to wait as long as possible. Massage will help in the short term but more than likely this area is going to need to be...
It is certainly feasible to #downsize to smaller implants and also alter the positioning; if possible. However, #decreasing is size may also require a Breast #Lift to to #tighten loose skin, better optimize the end result. Any #revision has risks of unhappy outcome or other complications. Also,...
A small change in CC's may not be drastic enough to notice a significant size increase. Depending on the reason for the breast revision determines the sizing outcome. However, there are no guarantees with size predictions for revisions. Initially, if a woman wears a size 36 AB bra and would like...
Thanks for your question! The cc (cubic centimeter) is a measure of volume, & doesn't really matter what substance fills that volume, whether it's saline or silicone. So 350cc silicone should be the same as 350cc saline. However, there are differences in the type of implant (high vs...
Overfilling of the implant that much is clearly well beyond the limits that are set from the manufacturer. You may need to find a doctor who does not care or who can find a custom implant manufacturer which was once available. Good Luck!
