2nd revision needed - bottoming out 8 months post-op? (Photos)

Dear rkgs0502,
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.
If you are concerned, please check it with your plastic surgeon for reassurance and to further discuss your options and possibility of revision.

Your surgeon may consider revision of the bottom of the pocket with ADM (acellular dermal matrix) placement (products like Strattice or Alloderm), or possibly removing skin at the bottom of the breast and incorporating the old scar into the excision (this may work only if the implant is not lower than the other side).
Best wishes,
Dr. Taranow
