A year ago I had a breast lift with implants high profile 450CC’s under the muscle. My left implant bottomed out so I went in for a second surgery 6 months later to put permanent sutures to fix the bottoming out problem and also went with larger implants (700CC) UHP which bottomed out again not long after I had the surgery. I’ve lost 100+ lbs over the last 5 years and I’m wondering if that’s why my implants are dropping so low? My skin elasticity? I love the way they looked initially.
