Reverse bottoming out - doctor's prescription seems absurd; What should I do? (Photo)

Jellyace959259Feb 5, 2024
I had a major infection on my right implant at 3 days post op so the doctor removed and cleaned the implant via second surgery. The pain and bruises were gone but since then, my right implant didn't stay in place and slid up almost to my collar bone whenever I lied down. I'm 3 months post op now (mentor, 295CC) and the doctor prescribed me to wear a breast band and a certain type of bra for a WHOLE YEAR to fix this problem. This sounds too long and uncomfortable. Is this accurate?

You are swelling and may need to have the implant and capsule removed. Please do not delay. You also need to go down in size.

You would notice the 50 cc addition to your breasts and it might look very nice on you. Please discuss this with your surgeon. However, you will need to wait until you are 6 months from surgery before doing a second procedure.

There is a risk of damage to nipple sensation and erection with breast surgery. This is not fixable since the small nerves have been damaged.
