I had 290cc round silicone under muscle implants 6 weeks ago. From the start my right implant has looked alot different from the left (normal I know) but it seems to be slipping lower everyday. I can feel the implant underneath as if the pocket it is in has opened up at the bottom, or was not closed properly in the first place. Is this due to over disection of the pocket and can this be fixed before it gets any lower, with some stitches to close the pocket and push implant back up.

Answer: Is my right implant bottoming out at only 6 weeks post-op? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. Your concerns are understandable; the photographs do demonstrate breasts that one of the breasts has more volume along the lower breast poles than upper breast poles. Whether or not you have "bottoming out" may be a matter of opinion but if you feel that there is too much volume inferiorly and too little upper pole volume, revisionary breast surgery may be helpful. Adjustment of the breast implant capsules (capsulorraphy) would likely be necessary to achieve an outcome that you are happier with. With this procedure, the breast implants will sit higher on your chest wall and concerns regarding position of nipple/areola complexes on each breast mound will also be alleviated. You may find the attached link/video helpful to you as you learn more.

Answer: Bottoming They do not appear to be bottoming out. Rather, one appears slightly smaller. This may be due to the fact that it is slightly higher and needs to settle.
