Double bubble appearance on left cleavage after capsulectomy uplift and re-augmentation, will this resolve itself? (photos)

Dear Bright317574,
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.

Your photos are not very clear or close, so I would suggest going back to your surgeon and discussing your concerns.

Hello @Bright317574 thank you for your question. I understand your concern, however without a proper assessment an expert opinion is not possible. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS
