I'm now 6 weeks post op 350 cc sub muscular with lowering of the infamammory fold. my left breast bottomed out right after my PS took out the stitches at 2 weeks post op. my PS said he can fix it in the office under local and I'll take something to calm my nerves an hour before. can it be fixed that easily? also at the fold of my right it feels ripple-y should I be concerned of this one bottoming out as well?
Answer: Breast Implant Bottoming out......? First of all, Bottoming Out can not be caused by removal of skin stitches. It is a relatively common complication when one lowers the Infra-Mammary Fold. Repair under local anesthesia is not a common choice. It can be done under rib block anesthesia, but even then must be performed under the same sterility conditions as your original implant surgery. Also recurrence is fairly common. I normally recommend reinforcement of the repair using something called Strattice. It's very expensive, but it works!Good Luck!Get a second opinion (in person) if you're uncomfortable.

Answer: Breast augmentation Personally I wouldn't try and correct bottoming out under local anaesthetic. Usually one needs to place deep stitches onto the chest wall which can be very uncomfortable.
