This is a very rare complication. When implants are said to "bottom out" it means they
descend too low on the chest, raising the nipples up too high. This is prevented by the
surgical procedure being done properly and by the postoperative banding and replaced under
your breast that you will wear for a number of days after the surgery. This is much less
common when the implant is placed behind the muscle which supports the implant nicely. To
correct this problem another surgery must be performed placing sutures to correct the
position of the pocket to bring the implant up into the proper position.
