Hi I am 10 months post op from breast augmentation. I got 415cc high profile implants. I noticed right away that I was getting double bubble on my right breast, and it’s gotten worse as time has passed. My doctor said only solution would be a lift (which he doesn’t recommend) or to tighten the pocket but that gives the illusion of my nipple facing downwards. Is there any other solutions? I hate the way my right breast looks :(.
Answer: Double Bubble Deformity Correction Generally a double bubble deformity occurs when your implant descends lower than the previous breast 'fold' or IMF and the pre-existing fold is still visible (the higher of the two curved lines on the affected breast).

Answer: Capsulorrhaphy It may be possible to do a capsulorrhaphy, very slight along the lower pole to push the implant up and eliminate the double bubble without affecting your nipple position significantly. An in person exam will help determine if this would be a viable solution that would not involve an implant exchange or other more costly options.

Answer: Correction of double bubble depends on the cause Double bubble can be caused by different things. A common one is where the inframammary fold has to be lowered, or the implant drops below the fold. The other is when the cut muscle adheres to the capsule where it places upward traction. In this case there would also be animation, meaning the crease moves up when you flex your pec. This is more likely to be the case when the crease is closer to the nipple than the inframammary fold, as in your case. If so, it requires re-attachment of the muscle with conversion from dual plane to the split muscle plane or subfascial. Muscle release will make it worse.

Answer: 10 months post op and have a double bubble on right breast. Solutions? Thanks for some posted photos, but need frontal view and before photos also. I usually "fix" "double bubble" deformities via 3 methods. 1. Re operation via infra mammary approach to release/cur the tight pectoralis muscle to breasts tissue junction. Fee $4,000. 2. Liposuction of 500 cc fat to fat transfer micro/macro fat to release indented skin. Fee $4,000. 3. Combination of #1 & #2. Fee $7,000. Best to virtual consult with....
