Treatment of Bottoming out Following Breast Augmentation
A 41-year-old female patient demonstrates successful treatment of bottoming out after breast augmentation.
Bottoming out of the breasts describes an undesirable increase of the lower breast pole prominence that results following breast augmentation or breast lift with implant augmentation. Bottoming out is characterized by stretching of the lower breast skin and shifting of the breast implant into the lower breast pole with the resultant superior pointing of the nipple and areola as well as the loss of upper breast pole prominence.
