Double Bubble After 3 Surgeries

underwent an increase mammaire in 2001 result a double bubble was created…. The doctor said to me that there was nothing to make. In 2006, another surgeon proposed to cut (to weaken) the pectoral muscle, after several months it returned, not having more money for a reoperation, I lived with a complex which cannot carry bikini with a low neckline…. 2010, I paid for a reoperation, the doctor then suggested me a breast lift to remove this double bubble but after the operation that seemed better because my centres were swollen but there it is similar as before any improvement, I am not born any more when my problem will be solved, and I am very complexed by it…. Can this problem be solved?

Bottoming out involves inferior migration of the... more

I really think you would benefit from downsizing. This alone will probably not correct the problem. You will also need some internal capsule work to try to re-establish your fold, possibly even more skin excision. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon for sure!

Double bubble repair

Your case is a classic but unfortunate example of how important it is to get the first repair done correctly, or a series of failed efforts can follow. There are two issues, one of which is lack of support on the bottom half, which none of your surgeries have addressed. The other, which is related, is that the muscle has been cut from its attachment to the ribs, which is routine but contributes to both the movement downward of the implant and creating the double bubble crease becasue it... more
