I had my breast augmentation 6 weeks ago and they haven't been right from day my left implant sitting lower than my right and the double bubble effect.
Answer: Double bubble from implants too large It appears in your case that the implants had too large of a base diameter so your surgeon released the bottom edge of the breast (inframammary fold) in order to center the implants. You may have had a slight tubular shape, with a short nipple-to-fold distance, which predisposes to this type of problem. You will likely require a correction with capsulorrhaphy to raise the fold, and switch to either smaller implants or an anatomic shape.

Answer: #doublebubble appearance after #breastaugmentation with #breastimplants with #PlasticSurgery Looking at your photos, you do appear to have implants that are too big for your chest. They have also been placed too low on your chest. Thirdly, although the implants would have needed to be placed below your orginal infra mammary crease, the constriction in the crease should have been released internally to minimise the effect. You would be better off with smaller implants and reconstruction of the inframammary fold. For optimal outcome, please consult a fully qualified plastic surgeon, who has specialist qualification in plastic surgery 'FRCS Plast' after having being trained adequately in the field of plastic surgery, is registered on the 'Specialist register for Plastic surgery' with the General Medical Council and has been considered competent enough to be a member of the 'BAPRAS' (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and 'BAAPS' (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) at the least.

Answer: Double bubble Dear ally_davies, though rare, some women who undergo breast augmentation will develop a minor deformity known as a “double bubble,” in which additional folds appear underneath the breasts due to the implant accidentally shifting or contracting post-surgery. In most cases, the implant simply slipped too far down the chest wall and traveled behind the breast inframammary crease (the area where the lower breast meets the chest), instead of moving forward to fill the breast cavity. If left untreated, the lopsided implant will form unnatural indentations, resulting in an odd “four-breast effect” rather than the full, rounded chest the patient initially desired.

Answer: Explant and The Bellesoma Lift for double bubble Unfortunately, you have not provided before photographs or told us your bra size. The double bubble is caused by too large of implants. Since a large implant was placed, the inframammary fold had to be lowered. What you are seeing now is the old inframammary fold on top and the new inframammary fold on the bottom. Also, your nipples are pointing upward and outward. You will need a revision with smaller implants or explantation and fat transfers.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Double Bubble Implants Thank you for the question and pictures!! A double bubble can be cause for many reasons. In your case is that the diameter of the implants is too large for your chest, which caused your fold to drop. The best solution may be to have those implants removed and replaced with smaller ones. Please follow up with your surgeon. Good luck! Dr Quiroz!
