Q: Breast augmentation - Am I experiencing a bottoming out or double bubble effect?
A:
These complications have occured, however it is difficult to diagnosis without an examination. If you are unhappy with your results or if you feel something is wrong or does not look right, you need to contact your doctor. He will examine you and determine if either of these are happening or if you are a thin patient, you will be more likely to feel the implants more than other patients.
If you are unsure about your results dont hesistate to contact your doctor, it is best to address your concerns as soon as possible.
