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 implants Thank you for your question,From your images, the implants did drop. However, cleavage is determined by the width of the sternal bone. To get a cleavage from breast implants, you would need really large, unnatural looking implants.Best,

Answer: They do look a little low Hi Heather 1222. Based on your pics, I do agree that your implants are a little lower on your chest wall than what we like to see. It happens. I suggest you return to your surgeon and discuss this with him or her. To start, If you were my patient, I would put a row of stitches in the bottom of each pocket to raise the implants. If this doesn't work and the malposition recurs, then we would need to talk about using pig or human skin to support the implants but that is an expensive approach so I save that for only those who really need it.Best of luck to you.G.

Answer: Bottoming out Thank you for your question and photographs. Your photograph indicates that you may have what is referred to as "bottoming out" of the implant wherein the implant falls below the infra-mammary fold. Best to follow up with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation. Good luck.

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.
