Are there any health risks involved with a bottomed-out implant? (photos)

Dear crappylampshade,
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.

Risks are low as long as the implant does not continue to drop and thin your tissu where the implant could become exposed.. Your higher side could be treated with ultrasound to see if the pocket could stretch and let it lower too.

Fortunately there are no additional health risks associated with a bottomed out breast implant other than its appearance and it’s location.
