Exactly 6 months post op-340 cc, high profile gel, over the muscle.. I am wondering if I am starting to bottom out. My nipples look higher to me, maybe even the right more than left. I went to see my surgeon last week and he seems defensive that I was there checking.
Answer: Nipples Look High This is a common result after subfascial/subglandular augmentation because there is minimal coverage/support from the pectoralis muscle. The distance from the nipple to fold will increase as the implant starts to exert its effect on the soft tissues. The absolute nipple to fold distance increases in a majority of breast augmentations (there are a few caveats).

Answer: Implants Yes, you have some mild lowering of your implants, but nothing that should be treated surgically. However, do wear a good supporting day during the day. Since you chose to place the implants in front of the muscle, you don't have much supporting these girls.

Answer: Bottoming out? I think your implants have settled lower on your chest, which they will do over time. When the implant settles, it will push the nipples higher. Bottoming out is more common under the muscle. With bottoming out, you would see the implant sitting below your breast fold. Sometimes this is called a double bubble. So, I don't feel that you have bottoming out. An in-person exam is always best to tell for sure. Hope that helps!

Answer: 6 months post-op and wondering if I am starting to bottom out Hi! You are not bottoming out, your implants are just settling. I believe the issue is the implants are a little large for you so the surgeon had to make the pocket bigger… bigger on the upper and lower half of your breasts. Considering what your surgeon did your results are good and as expected. If you would’ve opted for a breast lift with implants (even a slight lift but with slightly smaller implants) you wouldn’t be having these apparent issues.

Answer: Bottoming Out 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.
