I had my breast augmentation on May 4th. Everything is going pretty well, recovery wise. I am concerned about my left implant bottoming out though. It feels like its falling too low and is painful at the bottom when gravity is pulling it. (when I am up and walking around). I know they will drop at different times, so I am not worried about the right one still being higher. I am only two weeks post op, so I am not trying to rush anything. I just feel uncomfortable w/ how the left one sits/feels.
Answer: Bottoming out Dear ashfitgirl1,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.

Answer: Early Bottoming Out? Since you are only two weeks post surgery, it is always difficult to assess implant positioning. However, from your picture it does appear that your one side is sitting lower and causing a double bubble effect. I would wear a bra that really supports that side while healing and continue to allow yourself to heal. The three month mark would be the appropriate time to address the positioning of new be. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery ashfitgirl1. I appreciate your concerns but way too early to worry. Your implants are pretty large and your body needs time to heal and adapt to the implants. The skin and muscle over the implants must stretch a bit to allow the implants to settle into their final position. While your appearance will improve fairly quickly, don't expect to see your final result for at least 6 months after surgery. Good Luck!
