Hello, I had a breast augmentation in late December 2015 (1 year and 1 month ago). I went from 32A/B to 32DDD with 450cc saline implants. As you can tell from the pictures attached, my nipples look way too high, and the incisions look like they've risen a little higher than they were supposed to be. Have my implants bottomed out? And what is the solution to this? Thank you.
Answer: Bottoming out Thanks so much for reaching out. You're absolutely correct it appears as if you were implants have bottomed out. The best solution for this is for revisional breast surgery. Be sure to speak with your plastic surgeon or another plastic surgeon as a second opinion. Make sure their board certified by the American Board of plastic surgery and specializes in breast surgery and revisional breast surgery, for the appropriate plan and treatment. I hope this helps :-)

Answer: Have you bottomed out? Thanks for your question! There are a number of different ways for this to be corrected. Some of them are a bit more straightforward than others. I would suggest consulting with a few board-certified plastic surgeons and finding one that you trust, and that thinks they can correct the problem. Good luck!

Answer: Nipples Too High After Augmentation Thank you for your question and for attaching photos. It looks like your implants have "bottomed out". You should address your concerns with your plastic surgeon. He or she may be able to do a revision by removing a wedge of skin from the inframammary fold improving your nipple position and the incision placement. Best of luck to you.
