Is this “Double Bubble”? Will a revision be needed? (Photos)

Asked By:MinnieMoo25 in Leesburg, Virginia

I had breast augmentation back in October 20 24, and love the results up until the six month point. Then when I raise my arms, I see what appears to be the implant showing underneath the natural breast on one side I sent pictures to my PS, And then had a follow up, where he told me it’s OK and I shouldn’t worry about it. I questioned about bottoming out or double bubble, and he said it’s fine, as the implant is still in the natural crease. I feel like this is obviously not a result most people have, in which case it’s not normal. I’m feeling very self-conscious about it and worry that overtime it will get worse. I have another appointment in six weeks (three months since my last appointment) and he had advised that I just wear very supportive brawls and sports bras up until then. I had already informed him that I have never not slept in sports bras at night, and always wear a very supportive brawl during the day, both before, and after implants, so my breasts have never gone unsupported unless in the shower. I’m just very concerned that he seems to classify this as normal, and wonder if he may be trying to get out of suggesting / doing a revision. I’d love some advice prior to my next appointment. I was a deflated B prior and got UTM, 360cc moderate profile, Natrelle highest cohesive silicone. Thank you!!
