Is it only possible to bottom out with implants? Or is that something that can occur with a breast reduction/lift with no implants?
Answer: Bottoming out This deformity may happen frequently after reduction of large breasts, regardless of the technique used. If too much breast tissue is left in the breast, in time, due to gravity, heavy breast tissue will descent in the lower pole of breast, stretch a weak skin envelope and create bottoming out deformity. Hope this helps.

Answer: Bottom out Yes, bottoming out can occur without implants especially if you have stretched out tissue from pregnancy or weight loss. Heavy tissue can be hard to keep lifted and stretched out skin won't hold well long term. Internal bras with mesh can be helpful to give more support.

Answer: Breast reduction This is common after breast reduction. The skin in the lower part stretches out. It can be revised by tightening the skin in the lower portion or the breast

Answer: Bottoming out Dear Fantastic68921, 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. Bottoming out can also occur if an implant is too large for the breast pocket. That is why it is important to choose an implant size that's correct for your body. I perform numerous measurements in the office to determine optimal implant size for my patient's bodies.
