Repairing Bottom Out Without Surgery? (photo)

Question

Let's speak theoretically. My bottom out was imediate. Days after surgery. Not immense tough, a few centimeters at worst, only one of the breasts. I have just today completed two weeks post-op. Let's say I forcefully keep my breast from dropping to their lowest position, keeping it at the same height of the other side with underwear. Tight, tight underwear. 24/7. Even holding firmly with my hands through each bath. Could the body repair the pocket and close it back by itself?

At two weeks after surgery, it may be possible to create a scar above the level of pocket dissection and reduce the chance of bottoming out.  Taping the area may be helpful in this regard.  Your plastics surgeon will be more helpful in this regard.

Your breast more so on the right looks a bit low but it may not be.  I have used a thong bra which can be purchased online in some patients that I have repaired a bottoming out.  Best to check with your surgeon.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

First based upon the early post operative posted photos I do not see a significant "bottoming out". I see pre op inferior quadrant asymmetry and distance. The surgery seems to have addressed those issues. If you feel you are bottoming than please see your surgeon for examination and advise. I might recommend Kinesio taping for 3 weeks along the inferior border. Also tight inferior support, less use of arms in upward motions. If still not satisfied only surgery than could rectify.

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

Wearing an underwire or other support to maintain implant position before the capsule actually forms is likely to correct the problem before it is "permanently" healed. It would help to have one that is cut away that you could use in the shower. Review fitting with your surgeon and best of luck.
