I had BA in July of last year. I received 375cc smooth silicone high profile implants below the muscle and my inframammary fold was lowered. At first I loved them and thought they looked great, now I’m worrying they’re dropping too low. I expected with breast implants that I would have beautiful cleavage afterwards, but now even when I wear low cut tops I have hardly no cleavage. It’s very disappointing.

Answer: Breast augmentation It does appear from your photo that your implants are bottoming out. The way to correct this is with surgery. Your situation is not severe, but if you are unhappy you may want to address it sooner than later. I recommend returning to your surgeon for an examination.

Answer: Bottoming out Dear Heather1222,bottoming out occurs when the implant falls below the current breast crease or inframammary line. It's more likely to happen with inframammary incisions, which is why I try not to use the inframammary approach to any breast surgery. Bottoming out can also occur if an implant is too large for the breast pocket. That is why it is important to choose an implant size that's correct for your body. I perform numerous measurements in the office to determine optimal implant size for my patient's bodies. If you are concerned, please check it with your plastic surgeon for reassurance and to further discuss your options and possibility of revision.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
