5 months post op, is this double bubble and will it correct itself over time? (photo)

Unfortunately, This issue will not get better despite what many are told by their surgeon. Why it happened is because you needed a lift to begin with and the implant was placed too low, which then likely led to even more downward drift, allowing it to settle below your natural inframammary fold.

Dear Elizabeth 1717,
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.
