Double Bubble - could it be muscle attached to the scar? (Photos)

June 2, 2025
Asked By:a9arose in Buffalo, New York

I had my larger implants, removed two years ago and about eight months ago had silicone gummy implants put in. They are much smaller than my original saline implants. We went dual plane, because that is how my old implants were placed. My surgeon says this isn’t a “typical” double bubble deformity because the implant is very small. He believes that the muscle attached to the scar and wants to “release it” in office. I’ve never heard of this so I wanted to see if this is actually a good thing to agree with or if I should get more opinions. I don’t want anything to mess it up because otherwise, I am loving the results.
