6 months post-op and wondering if I am starting to bottom out (Photo)

Hi sashley2000, it appears that you have a lovely result at this time! However, from the photos, it is somewhat difficult to assess whether your implants are beginning to show signs of bottoming out.
"Bottoming out" refers to when the implants begin to fall below your natural breast crease. Without being able to see your implant position related to your incision and native breast crease it is difficult to say if you're having some early descent of the implants. If you have concerns, I would recommend scheduling a follow-up with your surgeon for an examination and to discuss your concerns. Best of luck!

Dear sashley2000,
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.
