Should I be concerned about bottoming out after a revision surgery to add mesh? (photo)

October 17, 2021
Asked By:kconfetti in Los Angeles, CA

My initial breast augmentation & lift were in June 2020 (silicone, crease incision, moderate profile 405/360 cc). By late August it was clear both were bottoming out. I scheduled a revision to add mesh below the implants & had that surgery in November 2020. Since the revision, the left side seems to have bottomed out even more than before the revision. What would cause this? Is the mesh in the wrong place? Do I need to fix this? My surgeon said he considers this a "good outcome."
