Answer: Anatomic implants Yes, you have bottomed out a bit and thus is why I don't like so called anatomic shaped implants. They're too bottom heavy. Capsulorraphy is one option. I would replace the implants with smooth round ones. Another option is to perform a lift as well, but that involves more scars.

Answer: Drop Out and Textured Implants Hello,Thank you for re-posting with photos! Nice timeline photos too. If you like the way you looked (your upper pole) early on, then you should stick with your current implants. If you want even more upper pole fullness you could do one of two things: Switch to MH 495 cc - 555 cc Mentor Memory shaped implants, which have the same width as your current TM+ 445 cc-495 cc, but with a more aggressive upper pole, or go to smooth HP 500 cc - 550 cc. You are taking a bit of an increased risk of recurrence by going to smooth considering your propensity for making wispy scar capsule. Although you really look great right now, I can understand how you feel you're a little bottom heavy and missing fullness on top. Best of luck!

Answer: Bottoming out I appreciate your question.You are bottoming out with textured implants and don't have upper pole fullness. I would most likely recommend a smaller implant with a dermal matrix support.This could be anatomic or round but would be best to examine you.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
