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 Dear Energetic40707, 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.

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.
