Post Op: Isolated Lower Pole Stretch? Bottoming Out? Or Something Else? (Photo)

Question

3 months ago I got mentor silicone implants- 325ccs high profile, placed above the muscle. Although they look okay from the front, they look awful from the side and I don't have the fullness, cleavage or "fake" look that I wanted. I know it's hard to tell without a before picture. But before I had perky 34Bs, but they didn't have a lot of upper pole fullness. Plus I have thin skin&am prone to stretch marks- even though I'm 21 with no kids. What's wrong with my implants? Can this be fixed?

Maybe you need revision to allocate the implants lower and well centered behind the nipples, using wider and more projected implants, better anatomical shaped ones.

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

The problem is one of the creation of the pocket.  If the implants sit this high after 6 months you will need a revision surgery to adjust the shape.

Don W. Griffin, MD · Answer

Your implants seem to still be sitting high in your pockets, and with the high profile implants, they are causing a convexity in the upper pole. This may resolve over the next 3 months if the implants settle more. If not, switching to a moderate profile implant will make the side view better since the upper pole won't be as full.

NO bottoming noted just high riding placement of the sub glandular implants. Only revision or lifting can improve....

At first glance it doesn't seem like you have bottomed out. The lower breast would be much more stretched if that were the case. It looks as if your implants are held up. Try a moderate compression massage against the breast to help relax it. At some point you may need a revision surgery to help lower them into the correct pocket.
