3 surgeries with bottoming out all within 6-12 months. Augmentation was under the muscle. My last surgeon from March 23 and I have been watching this happen since 4 months post op (same with other 2). He will fix it and make it "agressive". I am thinking doing the same thing over and over again won't fix this. I have horrible animation deformity (ext Boobs fall out of my bra, they ache and they sit out to the side now low low low. Help?

Answer: I have bottomed out 3 times- should I explant? Hello @Dazzling4087, thank you for your question. You should have an explant with total capsulectomy and since you have good breast tissue I would consider a breast lift to rearrange the breast tissue and lift the areolas and nipples. The shape of the breast is improved by rearranging the breast parenchyma. I understand your concerns regarding breast animation deformity and chronic pain. It is possible that the underlying cause of the symptoms is related to the pectoralis muscle attaching to the chest wall. However, a thorough consultation and examination would be necessary to determine the cause of the problem and treat it. To shed more light, I share a video. If you are considering breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best regards. Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Bottoming out It's important to consider why you are bottoming out. Sometimes large implants can lead to this occurrence. You may want to consider adding bioabsorbable mesh. This can add support if the bottoming out is occurring from the tissues being thin. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
