Asked By:Kind808222 in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom
I had breast enlargement surgery in December 2021 and then became pregnant in January 2022 (it wasn't planned). I breast fed for 8 months. Overall I am happy with the results, however I am concerned about my scars, they are dark, raised and can be uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do to help reduce the appearance of the scars? I am booking an appointment with my surgeon but I want to make sure I am aware of the possibilities first. I have attached pictures.

Bottoming out is a complication of breast implant surgery that consists of the descent of the inframammary fold with inferior displacement of the implant, causing breast asymmetry.
There are different surgical techniques to correct bottoming out; I would highly recommend a revisional surgery.
All insurance plans are different and your insurance will likely change between now and when you have an issue with your implants. But to be on the safe side, you should ask your current insurance company about coverage of cosmetic surgery issues. If you have any questions about whether implants...
Breast sizing is based on the dimensions on the breast (not just patient preference). As the implant volume increases, so does the width of the device. As the width increases, it can compromise the borders of the breast, increasing complications like implant displacement.
