Breast Implant "Bottoming Out"

This patient was a very thin 29 year old woman who underwent Silicone Breast Augmentation with 300cc silicone gel implants. At her 2 month check-up the implants were in a perfect position but by 6 months after surgery both implants had dropped too low because of thin, weak soft tissue support and the scars were visible. She underwent reconstruction of the lower portion of her breast tissue to correct the "bottoming out" of the implants by using an absorbable support scaffold known as Galaform. She is shown before and 1 & 1/2 years after correction of the "bottoming out".
