Breast Implants 'Bottoming Out'

As regards breast implants, the term "bottoming out" means one or both implants have descended below the natural fold of your lower breast.

2012-12-23

PHOENIX, AZ, December 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) As regards breast implants, the term "bottoming out" means one or both implants have descended below the natural fold of your lower breast. When bottoming out occurs, your nipple may sit unnaturally high on breast mound, and your breasts may appear asymmetrical or droopy. If you chose inframammary incisions for your breast augmentation, your scar may move to the midline of your breast when bottoming out occurs as well.

Reducing Your Risk

There are breast augmentation options your plastic surgeon can offer to reduce your risk of bottoming out. These include:
- Breast implant size - bottoming out is more common with large implants
- Breast implant type - saline is heavier than silicone and may be more likely to produce sagging
- Breast implant placement - particularly with large or heavy implants, those placed above the chest muscles are more prone to bottoming out

Your plastic surgeon will consider the size and shape of your natural breasts along with how much breast tissue is present. Based on these and other anatomical factors, he or she will be able to help you determine what options will most reduce your risk for bottoming out.

Breast Implant Revision

In some cases, the only way to treat bottoming out is through breast implant revision surgery. There are a number of techniques that your plastic surgeon may utilize to correct bottoming out, most of which should not require new incision locations. Like your initial breast augmentation, your revision surgery should be catered to meet your exact needs and used to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

If you require breast implant revision surgery, make sure you are working with a board-certified plastic surgeon that has experience correcting post-augmentation issues.

If you are experiencing bottoming out following breast augmentation, please visit the website of board-certified Phoenix plastic surgeon Paul Angelchik, MD for more information on your options at www.doctorangelchik.com.

New insights into how immune system fights atherosclerosis

2012-12-22

New York, NY (December 21, 2012) — A study led by Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers has found that an important branch of the immune system, in reaction to the development of atherosclerotic lesions, mounts a surprisingly robust anti-inflammatory T cell response that helps prevent the disease from progressing. The findings may help inform the design of anti-atherosclerosis vaccines and other therapies that can take advantage of this aspect of the immune system. The study was published today in the online edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. When ...

Boosting galactan sugars could boost biofuel production

2012-12-22

Galactan is a polymer of galactose, a six-carbon sugar that can be readily fermented by yeast into ethanol and is a target of interest for researchers in advanced biofuels produced from cellulosic biomass. Now an international collaboration led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) has identified the first enzyme capable of substantially boosting the amount of galactan in plant cell walls. Unlike ethanol, advanced biofuels synthesized from the sugars in plant cells walls could replace gasoline, diesel and jet fuels on ...

Study probes why and how patients with lung cancer initially get diagnosed with the disease

2012-12-22

DALLAS – Dec. 21, 2012 – UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are looking into the widespread implementation of computed-tomography (CT) scanning for the early detection of lung cancer in a public heath setting, asking two key questions: Without screening, why and how do patients with lung cancer get diagnosed with the disease in the first place? And what proportion of these cases would be captured by screening efforts? Dr. David Gerber, an oncologist and assistant professor of internal medicine, has used the electronic medical records data of more than 400 patients ...

NASA Sees the major Midwestern snowstorm in infrared light

2012-12-22

NASA and NOAA satellites have been providing data on the powerful low pressure area that dropped more than a foot of snow in some Midwestern states and prompted many warnings and weather advisories. NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image, while NOAA's GOES-13 satellite data was compiled into an animation that showed the movement of the storm system. On Dec. 21 at 0729 UTC (2:29 a.m. EST), the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of the massive low pressure area that caused a major snowstorm ...

Many causes for learning lags in tumor disorder

2012-12-22

The causes of learning problems associated with an inherited brain tumor disorder are much more complex than scientists had anticipated, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report. The disorder, neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), is among the most common inherited pediatric brain cancer syndromes. Children born with NF1 can develop low-grade brain tumors, but their most common problems are learning and attention difficulties. "While one of our top priorities is halting tumor growth, it's also important to ensure that these children don't have ...

Xiao-Gang Wen and the 500 phases of matter

2012-12-22

Forget solid, liquid, and gas: there are in fact more than 500 phases of matter. In a major paper in today's issue of Science, Perimeter Faculty member Xiao-Gang Wen reveals a modern reclassification of all of them. Using modern mathematics, Wen and collaborators reveal a new system which can, at last, successfully classify symmetry-protected phases of matter. Their new classification system will provide insight about these quantum phases of matter, which may in turn increase our ability to design states of matter for use in superconductors or quantum computers. This ...
