Why do my breast implants keep bottoming out? (Photo)

L2014
After a mini gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago and subsequent massive weight loss, I had multiple procedures to get rid of the excess skin. I had a belt lipectomy, this went really well! After a few months I had a breast lift. Then a few months after I had breast implants. Unfortunately soon after they bottomed out. After 6 months, my surgeon advised me to have another procedure to add a mesh to support the implants. I went ahead but soon after the implants bottomed out again! What is wrong?
