    CC is capsular contracture, hardening of the scar tissue around the implant. I have a mild case of it in my right breast so getting them replaced on 19th December. As for bottoming out, I have no idea what that is but sure some of the other girls will know x

    I had bttoming out basically the implant drops further than it should leaving the nipples at the top of your breast pointing upwards the scar will mostly be above the crease rather than in the crease. Cc is capsular contraction which is build up of scar tissue it in different grades and can be very painful hard and a lot of cases the boob remains high and won’t drop xxx

    No not necessarily hun. i had my first implants 7 years ago and have only noticed CC in the last year, if you feel like you have done too much just take it easier x

    No chick shudnt do.. my 1st op I was picking my kids up n hoovering 3 days po I didn’t get it. It depends on the grade everyone gets some scar tissue inside thats normal as its an op but if its quite severe then yes it will need to b sorted xx
