Hello - You may want to consider a lift with your augmentation. The "double bubble" look may occur when the implants are placed and the breast tissue then falls over the implant creating excess skin at the lower portion of the breast. Therefore, lifting the breast tissue can help prevent this look. For the type of lift that you may need, consult with your plastic surgeon as there are several different types.

Recognizing which patients are more at risk to get a double bubble is the first step in the process.
