Crease After #BreastAugmentation

From your photos, it appears that you have a "double bubble" deformity on the left breast. This can happen from lowering the fold or settling of the implant. It could be that since that nipple was/is lower that your surgeon attempted to center the nipple by lowering the fold. It is likely that the fold was higher preoperatively. This can be corrected, but a surgical procedure is usually necessary. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion... more

Double Bubble vs Asymmetric Nipples

Since your left breast is causing you sleepless nights, then I recommend you go back to your plastic surgeon and have him correct the double bubble. Unfortunately, it won't go away with time. It is obvious from your pictures that your nipples were at two different levels pre operatively. Correction of the double bubble on the left by capsulopexy would lower the nipple on the left even more, making your breasts look even more asymmetric. If you like the size and... more

Breast Implant Asymmetry

Hello, I am sorry that you are experiencing difficulties with the outcome of your breast augmentation, and that you are loosing sleep worrying! I can assure you this is not due to your diabetes.

The implants and double bubble

You have a mld double bubble more on the left. Sometimes with time that mile double bubble line stretches out and then no further surgery is needed. If it does not get better with more time, you may need it repaired.

From the picture that you have post we do see the difference in breasts. You are still in the healing process and will ask to give your body time to heal. In our practice we use a BREAST BAND, that helps with making the implants drop into place.We see your old crease and it will take time for your skin to adjust to the new implant. Let your skin relax and hopefully that in it self with correct it self.

3 Months Post Opp from Silicon Breast Augmentation. Left One Hasn't Fully Dropped, Crease Is There Still?

Thanks for posting the photo. To me I see a "double bubble effect"on the left but also I see it lightly on the right. You can demonstrate it even better if you flex your pect muscles. Repair can be done, either to the muscle or add fat grafts or both.

Breast Augmentation Results?

Thank you for the question and picture. I'm sorry to hear about the stress you are experiencing. However, it is not possible to give you real reassurance or provide meaningful advice without direct examination. Based on your picture however it seems that the amount of fullness you have along the superior aspects of the breasts are similar, suggesting that the breast implants have settled in a similar fashion. The “crease/line” that you mention is visible in the picture;... more
