Our Location

Breast revision surgery in Raleigh North Carolina is best performed by experience board certified surgeons such as Dr. Glenn Lyle at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center. Breast implant revision comes in many forms and for many indications such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, asymmetry and addressing ruptured implants.

Bottoming out is a form of implant malposition where the implant falls below the original inframammary fold and the profile of the breast is lowered and the nipples look upwards. This is often called a stargazing appearance. The cause of this is usually related to the weak tissue that often makes up the structure of the inframammary fold. This is particularly common with patients with weight loss, thin tissue and sometimes overly large implants.

This 44-year-old woman had a history of weight loss and underwent bilateral breast augmentation by another plastic surgeon. She developed bottoming out and her original surgeon attempted to repair this 2 times but was unsuccessful. She sought out the care of Dr. Lyle who performed bilateral breast revision with suture capsulorrhaphy with mesh reinforcement. In this procedure, strong permanent sutures are necessary to affix the implant capsule to the chest wall and a piece of absorbable mesh like Galaflex is used to reinforce the repair and help the body's natural healing mechanisms to strengthen it. The result was a long-lasting successful revision.
