I had a breast lift and reduction around 5 years ago. For more than half of this time my breast have appeared to have a double bubble or a bottoming out look. I have very dense tissue, when I retain any water during the month this under area swells, stands out, and my bras are unbearable. Any advice on how this should be revised.
Answer: Bottoming out You are experiencing the most frequent "complication" of breast lift/reduction. Heavy breast tissue descends and expands lower pole of the breast due to gravity while niple/areola stays in the same position. The only way to correct that is new lift or small reduction. Good luck.

Answer: Breasts Your breasts can be reduced a little more and lifted so there is less risk of bottoming out from the weight. Women with large breasts who need reductions have stretched skin that does not hold well over time. going smaller can be very helpful to prevent more sagging.

Answer: How do I fix my breast lift? From the photos you provided, this is a very easy fix. I would simply perform a wedge excision at the base of your breasts to excise this tissue and recreate a more optimal breast fold. Downtime would be minimal and you should achieve a very nice long-term result.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACS PCEOBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Revision surgery Dear reiter84, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.
