Double bubble

Steven H. Schuster, 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?

Dear Seashell

I think it is far too soon to tell. You are concerned so speak to your surgeon about your concerns. There are several causes of the double bubble including a crease that is lowered beyond the crease and also tuberous breast deformity. I certainly would not go in now as this is the worst time in terms of the healing process so be patient, talk to you surgeon and at least wait out the 3-6 months it takes to settle down.

Good luck
