Bottoming out or double bubble?

Question

My plastic surgeon doesn't seem to be worried but something looks off.. Am I bottoming out or do I have a double bubble? I'm 5'4, 140 pounds. I have 600ccs dual plane. Please help me!

I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery.
Yes, I do think that one of your implants are too low on the chest wall.Generally speaking, one of the most common complications after breast augmentation surgery is implant mal-position. This occurs when the implant is in an incorrect position on the chest wall. This may include incorrect position of the implant superiorly (“riding high”), inferiorly (“bottoming out”), medially (“symmastia or uni-boob”) or laterally (falling outward into the axilla).Bottoming out involves inferior migration of the implants. This causes the nipple areola complex to appear too high on the breasts. Also, the distance from the areola to the inframammary fold is too great. Sometimes there is associated discomfort in the are of displacement. This is corrected by “raising” the inframammary fold using internal sutures.  Sometimes, depending on the situation, the use of additional supportive material may be helpful (internal bra).  I hope this and the attached link (dedicated to revisionary breast surgery concerns) helps.
 Best wishes.
