I’m 2 months post op from having a breast pocket revision after getting implants that bottomed out from over dissection of my original breast crease. I had my original surgery in August of 2017. I had my revision in the beginning of May 2018 and now I’m wondering if my left implant looks like it’s bottoming out again? The first 4 pictures are from 2 months after the revision and the next is 2 days after and the last is from before the revision
Answer: Bottoming out again? Sorry to see that you are having these issues. Unfortunately it does appear that you are bottoming out again, though not nearly as severely as before with the left much more severe than the right (as previously). Your surgeon accomplished quite a lot of correction with the first revision, as you had severe bottoming out. Your right looks quite nicely placed currently. It does appear that at least your left breast will require further revision for the best result. I would encourage you to wait a minimum of 6 months after your last revision to allow complete healing and settling before proceeding with another revision.
