Double Bubble Problem

C. Bob Basu, MD answers: Will double bubble breast implants correct themselves with time?

I am 4 weeks post-op from a revision for bilateral grade IV capsular contracture, during which I went from 315cc saline HP unders to 350cc mod+ silicone with the same placement. The double bubble became visible within the first week and I've only noticed minimal improvement.

While I'd be heartbroken if additional surgery is required, I don't want to wait things out with less than satisfactory results for too long. Should I give it past the 6 month mark to smooth out?

A double bubble can be due to many reasons, some of which have been highlighted in previous posts. I would recommend you visit with your surgeon to communicate your concerns. 

One of the common reasons why a double bubble may manifest following removal of scar tissue (capsulectomy) from your procedure is possible violation of the inframammary crease. Another reason would be a "band" manifesting in the lower pole of the breast. This can be due to scar tissue or residual capsule formation.

Regardless, I recommend you visit with your surgeon who is familiar with your case and he/she will make the best recommendations.
