I had breast augmentation 3 year ago are they bottoming out, can this be corrected? I wanted to achieve fullness on the upper part but feel i haven't got this, i feel all the volume/ fullness is in the lower breast, I don't feel happy with the results if I'm honest, can this be covered for revision or has it been too long? I don't want upset the clinic/surgeon as not feeling happy What should I do? Thanks

Answer: Bottoming out Chlo, You are correct, your breasts have both bottomed out and hang a bit laterally. This is due to several conditions: Your anatomy, the size and weight of your implants, type of implants (saline tend to bottom out more easily than silicone) and your tissues ability to support the weight. Wearing supportive bras as much as possible (and yes, even to sleep) do lessen the chances of this. You are way to far out to seek a free revision. Your surgeon may discount it a bit as you return, but this is not a guarantee. Changing to silicone (if you have saline), reducing the size, plicating (suturing the internal bottom and sides of your breast pockets from the inside) as well as using an internal bra (surgical procedure) all help to fix and reduce the potential for re-occurrence.
