Can slight bottoming out be fixed without removing implant? (photos)

Asked By:HesitantFate17 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I have had 2 breast surgeries. The first, a disaster with overdissected pockets and bottoming out. Years later I had a great revision with a wonderful (since retired surgeon). He did a great job and tightly sutured the bottomed out side after replacing the implants. I now have slight bottoming out on the other side, you can feel the implant base below the incison line and the nipple is rising. Can this be repaired without removing my implants? What is the easiest way?
