I had my surgery nearly 6 months ago. I have 280cc moderate profile. In the last month I noticed that my incisions moved up a little and my nipples are higher placed than I would prefer. I also started to feel the edge of the implant on the bottom. Is it possible that I'm bottoming out? I already contacted my surgeon, I'm waiting for his answer but I wanted to ask others as well.
Answer: Breast implants bottoming out? Hello, thank you for your question. Typically right after a breast augmentation, they sit very high up and over time within the first year they settle in. Everyone always loves the upper pole fullness and pushed up look but yes your implants have dropped. This being said they do not appear to be bottoming out based on your photos you look great! Of course speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns and in person exam maybe warranted to truly tell whether or not they are bottoming out. Wear a supportive bra always.

Answer: Bottoming out? Your description of the nipples pointing upward and the incision shifting forward is consistent with implants that are bottoming out. Your surgeon will help determine if that is indeed what is happening or if it is just the implants settling.

Answer: Implants bottoming out It does appear that your implants are bottoming out, creating an extra long nipple to inframammary fold distance. This leads to the incision and nipple both riding up, while the implant is riding down toward the abdomen. The inframammary fold should therefore be restabilized and secured to correct this and provide implant support. If you have extra skin, this may also need to be tightened.
