I had BA/BL 4 months ago in which my crease was moved a lot further down. It has shown the slight shadowing since about week 2 when swelling went down. While my right breast is dropping and forming a nice crease, the left breast isn’t at all and is now starting to form a bubble and doesn’t seem to have much shape at all. What could this possibly mean? Thank you

Answer: Breast fold doesn’t look right? Such blunting of the lower fold can occur when an attempt is made to lower the fold and make it even with the other side. If the fold was lowered and then secured with suture it could eventually round out, however, after 4 months I would’ve already expected this to have happened. At this point, it would be best to discuss with your surgeon and see what the options are. A fold revision on that side could be considered.

Answer: Double bubble deformity. Dear KG2302, what you have is called a double bubble deformity. This was caused by your surgeon's attempt to lower your inframammary crease which was necessary to round up your breasts. Originally the distance between the lower edge of your areola and your crease was very small (which is called a constricted or tight lower pole) It worked very well on the right side but not on the left. Fortunately this is correctable and your surgeon should be given the opportunity to do this for you at a special price or no price at all (that's between you and him/her) If you loose confidence on your surgeon then you should get more opinions before you commit to correction.
