Breast augmentation 3 months ago. 400cc Silicone under the muscle. Moderate plus implant. They do not look right. I saw my Plastic Surgeon a month ago and he advised me to see what happens by 6 months. The deformity has gotten worse since I saw him. I just don’t know what to do. Breast Aug June 7th.
Answer: Double bubble From your photos, what you seeing is a double contour , or " double bubble " . The breast tissue attachment to the muscle is at the top, while the implant contour is below that. It would appear that you have a tubular breast deformity with dilated areolae. This breast shape is difficult to correct with augmentation alone, and is more likely to develope the problem. The appearance generally gets better with time, as the tissues stretch from the weight of the implant. If the problem does not improve, there are revisional surgical procedures that can be performed. Be patient, and follow your surgeons recommendations.

Answer: Double Bubble - What is It? You have both. You have a double bubble = bottom of your implants are lower than your old fold...the fold used to be where your muscle was...and now the old fold is accentuated when you flex your muscle. Based on your photos, you look like you might have had a tuberous breast deformity, which I think is best corrected by placement of implants ABOVE the muscle to really stretch the tight tuberous breast out. Switching your implants to a new location above the muscle would fix this problem. You might also wish consider controlling the slight larger, puffy appearance of your areola with a small periareolar mastopexy. Things to think about. Please always make sure you are in the hands of a plastic surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. All the best.

Answer: Probably double bubble The reason I say probably as it depends if you are flexing your muscles when these pictures were taken. If you were, that is pretty common with the implants under the muscle in some patients. But if your pictures are at rest then it does look like a double bubble and there are solutions that I’m sure your surgeon will go over with you.

Answer: Breasts Yes, you do have a double bubble deformity. This is due to you having a mild version of a constricted breast, where the lower pole skin is tight and the nipple/areola is slightly herniated. With the implant, the inframammary fold was lowered but your natural fold is tight and still visible. The correction would involve recreating your natural fold with sutures. A periareolar lift may also be indicated.
