Is it possible a slight double bubble will correct itself when breastfeeding is stopped?

Hi Allision,Thanks for your question. It is quite possible that the slight double bubble will go away. But it may not. It just depends on how your breast tissue shrinks. There is no substitution for an in person exam. Even if you see your surgeon currently, they themselves do not know what your breast will do when the milk production stops. It will certainly be a wait and see approach. Be patient and continue taking care of your son. Remember, regardless of what your breast ends up looking like, it can be corrected! Good Luck!

All the best,

If you had no double bubble before breast feeding I think it will probably resolve when you stop. However, breast feeding will cause some changes to your breast and they will like look different than before. Good luck.

Hello,Thank you for your question. As others have said it is difficult to determine what your situation is without an exam or at least photos. Changes to the breasts during breastfeeding can be temporary. More permanent changes and implant malposition can also occur. You will need to make an appointment to see your Plastic Surgeon in person for assessment when you are ready.All the best

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your second son!  Unfortunately without a series of photographs or an in-person examination it is difficult to offer definite advice.  If your implant has become malpositioned than your double bubble will likely remain but if it developed as a result of your breast enlargement during pregnancy it may resolve once your breasts shrink.  See your plastic surgeon in consultation, they are in the best position to help guide you.

I have found that pregnancy and the breast feeding time frame are "pot luck" time. That is, just about anything can happen. You can get big and stay big, get big and shrink to nothing, stay the same, enlarge and little and shrink to nothing...pick your combination. It is best to wait until breast feeding is stopped for 4-6 months (some will say longer) and reevaluate the situation. It is possible that your slight "double bubble" will go away, especially if the relative enlargement is due to breast tissue engorgement, but if the "double bubble" is due to recently developed skin laxity in the front of your breast (this is not uncommon) and your breast size goes down, it will even get worse. You would then need a breast lift (a skin envelope reduction procedure). It is best to have an evaluation in person with a board certified plastic surgeon. I wish you the best.
