Breast Augmentation: Q&A

I Believe I Have a Double Bubble 3 Weeks Post-Op Breast Implants, How Can I Tell for Sure? (photo)
My breasts are only 3 weeks old but one of my breasts seriously doesn't look right and my surgeon is dismissing my concerns as theyre so new. I had existing asymmetry in both sizes, this has been amplified which I understood. One crease is about a finger width from the incision, he said it would eventually look more hidden but I can see another crease developing, is this an early stage double bubble? Front on is difficult to photograph but visible from under and when the arm is up.

Looks like a Double Bubble 3 weeks after Breast Augmentation-see your doctor
I agree the Right Breast does look like there is possibly a Double Bubble after Breast Augmentation.
The key is the transverse line on the lower part of the breast gland a few centimeters above the bottom of the implant-this is likely the Inframammary Crease which was violated during surgery.
Taping the bubble down to lift the implant above the normal crease may (but usually does not) help.
Certainly avoid displacement exercises that push the implant down and wear a bra. Avoid...

Double bubble
It is difficult to say for sure what is going on from these photos views which are all shot from below with your arms up. There seems to be a suggestion of a double bubble, but thismay stretch out with time since it is only 3 weeks post-surgery. At this point, it is a wait and see thing. Give it a few months. If it doesn;t improve, then you may need surgery to reset the fold and possibly use a smaller implant.

Breast Augmentation - Double Bubble at 3 Weeks
It's difficult to make an absolute assessment without seeing what you looked like before and an accurate head-on view now (most of these are from below, looking up) but it is reasonably clear that you have, at this time, a double bubble on your right side. This most likely represents your pre-existing inframammary crease and if your right breast was smaller than your left, and you needed (and got) a larger implant on that side, then it is to be expected that the inferior (lower)...

Breast implants and double bubbles
Yes you do have a double bubble but you are early enough after surgery that measures taken could/may make revision surgery unnecessary. Taping and/or bra positioning of the implant this early after surgery could change the implant position and allow the tissue over the lower end of the pocket to stick back down. The longer you wait after surgery to do this the less chance it will have of working. The best person to do and supervise this is your current surgeon. If you do need/get revision...

Double Bubble after Breast Augemtation
It looks like the lower part of your implant has moved below your breast crease and is causing double bubble. If the crease does not improve, discuss the options with your surgeon.

3 week post-op double bubble
It appears you may require a revision in the future. I recommend waiting until your six months post-op before seeking any revisions.

Double bubble at 3 weeks post ba
As as been said below you do have a db and over time a revision will be necessary to correct it. It is correctable. Good luck.

You will need to have revision
Your pictures clearly show that you have DB and will need revision. You have mild DB over the right side too.If your surgeon does see the problem ,you need to get a second opinion.

Breast Augmentation Results?
Thanks for the question and pictures.
The area of your concern is visible in the photos. Unfortunately, although your concerns are understandable, there is not much to do at this time but to allow for ongoing healing to occur. Several months from now it will be time to evaluate the final results of surgery and determine the need for revisionary surgery.
It is likely that revision of the breast implant pocket (on the side where the breast implant has settled down too far inferiorly)...
