7 months post breast lift w/ implants. Can my scar be moved so that it sits in the crease? Am I bottoming out?

Yes, your right implant is bottoming out, meaning that your inframammary fold structures have been violated and your implant is falling down below where your breast should end (assuming the scar was in your fold to begin with). This can be fixed, with repair of the inframammary fold structures and likely the use of an internal mesh bra such as Galaflex. This is typically successful, but there is always a small chance of recurrence of this problem. Best of luck!

Thanks for your inquiry and excellent pictures. I am glad you will be seeing your surgeon in person. I do believe this can be improved but will need revision surgery to restore the floor of the left breast pocket. I wish you luck at your appointment.

It appears that your right implant is lower, as well as imframammary fold. Lifting the IMF up, in the same position as contralateral breast, will create more symmetry and hide visible scar. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Clearly your left breast has bottomed out. Both of your breasts should look like your right side. I am sure when you see your surgeon he will propose an operation to correct this. Good luck.

That’s a really great result! What you’re asking to have done is pretty straightforward and reasonable. I would expect your surgeon to agree to do it but there could be a small fee

Dear Charming562079,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I think you are right one side may be bottoming out slightly. It sounds like your surgeon should be well equipped to manage this issue which is not uncommon. He is likely to revise that side which should involve Reinforcing the soft tissue on that side so that it can hold the weight of the implant.

Your implant has bottomed out and dropped below the fold. This can be corrected. You might need an internal bra for added support. Sagging breast tissue does not hold well for long term.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photos, I note a discrepancy in the level of the folds beneath the breasts. The right implant sits lower on the chest wall and you appear to have "bottomed out". A revisional surgery will elevate the implant higher on the chest, allowing the skin and soft tissue to redrape and conform, placing the scar at the level of the fold. 15% of cosmetic surgeries require a secondary touch up procedure to achieve the best result.
The outfit in your photo is not suited for post mastopexy patients as it minimizes the positive and maximizes the negative!
Best wishes...
