Thank you for your question. I have been in practice for over 30 years and revision breast surgery is a large portion of my practice. Your breasts have a near perfect appearance. There is always going to be some mild asymmetry. I would definitely recommend not performing any other surgery. I would leave it alone and enjoy your breasts
Dear Trustworthy450800,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

This may help you not develop symmastia since your breasts look like they are already touching. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Definitely, continue to wear a good supporting bra. If it gets no worse, then just enjoy what you have. If it continues to fall, you will need to go smaller for your tissue is not supporting the weight of these implants.

While challenging, I find complex revision cases both rewarding and meaningful. The right surgical plan depends on the issues caused by the original procedure and what you’re hoping to achieve. In cases like yours, I often recommend a combination of the following: *Revision of the breast lift, w...
Dear Cruzan96, though rare, some women who undergo breast augmentation will develop a minor deformity known as a “double bubble,” in which additional folds appear underneath the breasts due to the implant accidentally shifting or contracting post-surgery. In most cases, the implant simply sli...
