Bye-Bye to “Bottoming Out?”
Tweet
One of the potential complications of breast augmentation is “bottoming out.” When this occurs, the skin on the lower portion of the breast may being to stretch and the breast tissue may begin to sag below the nipple, causing the nipple to point upward. That’s certainly not what any woman wants to see after she’s improved her breasts with breast augmentation.
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent bottoming-out, there are several ways that may help to minimize your risk. The most important way is to choose a qualified Los Angeles breast implant surgeon. He or she will have the education, training, and experience to limit risk of complications. Once you’ve chosen your surgeon, they can discuss ways they avoid bottoming-out, such as:
- Choosing the incision location carefully.
- Placing implants below the pectoral muscle.
- Choosing a breast implant that is not too heavy for the supporting breast tissue.
Breast sagging isn’t just a problem after breast augmentation. If you’re in the market for a Los Angeles breast reduction or lift, there are ways to prevent excessive drooping. For example, Dr. Grant Stevens at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates developed the Laser Bra, a method of breast surgery that uses a laser to create an “internal bra” that supports the breast shape and position after surgery.
