Breast implants bottoming out. What are my options? (Photo)

Question

So I feel my right is more lower and a bit fatter towards the bottom is my right implant bottoming out ? I had 330cc silicone over the muscle under the fascia

Dear Dazzling7050,
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.

From your two photos, you do not appear to be bottoming out, but you do have different breasts and they are not exact.
