I spoke with my surgeon and he assured me everything looks great and it's just the transition from implant to natural breast tissue but I didn't think that was suppose to be visible? I'm now almost exactly one year post op, dual plane 360cc round sientra, this also isn't the "look" I wanted, the surgeon talked me out of the anatomical implants, I feel I just have a very fake look and it's very obvious I have breast implants, am I being nit picky?

Answer: Double Bubble Yes, it appears like double bubble, more so on one side. The other side is just slipping off the chest wall in the lateral direction. And yes, it is the transition from where breast tissue covers the implant and just subcutaneous tissue covering the implant; that transition is the inframammary fold. Having shaped implants would not have made a difference in the 'look', with or without the double bubble. More importantly, shaped implants are textured, which rarely have the desired 'velcro' effect, and so they can also dropout like smooth shelled devices. Also, shaped implants with their textured surface carry a small risk of a cancer called lymphoma. What will improve the breasts' appearance is fixing the pockets and securing them with an internal absorbable mesh.

Answer: Double bubble? It looks like there is some small deformity there that could be associated with double bubble? Only on the basis of in person exam one could answer that question. Fat grafting may help to camouflage that. Major issue is that you have very large implants for your torso, stretching your tissues so that every small irregularity as well as implants contoure is visible uinder breast envelope. Hope this helps.
