Can I Get a Double Bubble Even After a Breast Lift and Augmentation?

I'm 4 wks post-op & ever since the moment i got out of the surgery my breast appeared to have a double bubble. My tissue & the implant were not uniform. At first even the top part of my breast seemed "disconnected" from the implant and looked really funny, but now i just have a line that divides the implant & my tissue at the bottom. I had a corrective surgery for tubular breast with a breast lift made with a periareolar incision & implants. Can i get a double bubble even after a breast lift?

Double Bubble after Breast Augmentation/Lifting?

Yes, it is possible to have “double bubble” or other breast implant malposition/displacement issues after breast augmentation/lifting surgery.

I would suggest following up with your plastic surgeon who is in the best position to diagnose/advise you. Best wishes.

I am experiencing the same thing! Except my surgeon is pretending he doesn't see it!! I just cried to him that my left breast doesn't feel the same and is lower and feels loose. He told me everything was fine and to come back in six weeks. I'm almost 8 months post op. I noticed it early on but he said it would fade. It hasn't. I'm not happy. I paid a lot to have somewhat similar breasts! Now my left doesn't even fit in my bras well :(
