What happened to my implants? Upset with results, revision and advice needed (Photo)

tuberous breasts can be very challenging and usually need more than one procedure to correct. Your lateral pockets can be tightened so that the implants do not shift too far to the sides. For the breast with the crease, your more narrow-based breast, more tissue medially needs to be released. Using a tissue expander initially would have been helpful to widen this breast base.

Dear ana789,
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.

This is a poorly addressed tuberous breast deformity. There is a tethered peri-areolar (around the areola) scar on the right with a double bubble deformity due to inadequately release native inframammary fold tissue. I would recommend a breast revision with implant exchange, pocket work (capsule tightening/support), releasing scar tissue/native IMF, and a potential inferior mastopexy.
