Bottoming out

Implant position is determined by the implant pocket. Hence, pocket adjustment is essential to reposition the implant and gain better symmetry. When there is relaxation of the inframammary fold (breast crease), the implant can slip below the crease, this is called “bottoming out” and the deformity is referred to as a “double bubble.” Internal sutures can be placed to reinforce the inframammary crease and give support to the implant, and reposition it higher on the chest wall. In some situations, it may also be necessary to have some temporary sutures on the outside.
When the lateral (side) tissue relaxes too much, then the implants may look good while standing up, but they fall to the sides when you lie down. In this situation, internal sutures are placed to tighten the lateral sides of the pockets, to shift the implant more medially, and bring them back onto the chest.
