Correction of Bottoming Out

This 29-year old patient from Arizona who was interested in breast implant revision. The patient is post op breast augmentation surgery (performed by another plastic surgeon) and was unhappy with the “bottoming out” and lateral displacement of her breast implants.

The patient decided wanted to have correction of bottoming out performed, along with replacing her current saline breast implants for larger silicone-gel breast implants.

By performing markings, Dr. Pousti is able to map out her surgery, while discussing her surgery in detail.

The patient explained, while laying down she was unhappy with the position of her implants and she wanted more projection and cleavage.

Before surgery with markings

Completed right breast correct, Internal sutures were used to correct the “bottoming out” and lateral displacement. Temporary in-sizer were used to determine the goal look and size of the patients desired look.

752cc silicone gel implants were placed submuscularly in both breasts made by Allergan Corporation. The patient is very happy with the improved appearance of her breasts.

Patient Testimonial: 

Dr. Pousti did an amazing job. Having to go through 2 prior breast surgeries, I was so pleased with Dr. Pousti's work. Since my last reconstructive surgery was 10 years ago, turning 30, and nursing 3 babies, I needed my breast fixed very badly. I had total confidence in Dr. Pousti, because he said, If I didn't think I could do this surgery, and make you happy, I would turn you away . His staff was always so nice and checked on me numerous times after my surgery. At my 3 week appointment when I saw my before pictures, I was completely amazed at the difference. I had cleavage, and my nipples were back to where they were supposed to be. I would recommend Dr. Pousti to any of my friends and family Thank you Dr. Pousti and Staff H.L.
