I asked for high profile implants with lots of cleavage at the top. But I feel they have been placed too low and I have not at all achieved the upper cleavage look I desired. They seem to make my torso look short and if you compare to my natural breasts are much lower (look at the freckle on my sternum). Is this bottoming out or were they originally placed too low? my nipples also point upwards.

Answer: BA results Dear honeybellex, 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.

Answer: Implant position Your right at that your nipples should not be pointing up. You have to speak about these concerns with your plastic surgeon. A revision May certainly be considered, but your surgeon may want to wait a certain amount of time before moving the implants into a better position.
