Asked before, many Dr's wanted before/after pics so here they are. I'm 5 mo p.o. is this a double bubble/fold? Can I safely ignore it for a while? I breastfed 2 kids for 2 yrs. Before pic taken night before surgery, almost 1 year after I stopped nursing. My right breast has always been smaller than the left, we went with 300+ccs, silicone under the muscle. Don't recall exact cc, something like 375cc ish I think. Went from 36B, to 34DDD. With Arms down issue is gone.
Answer: Dealing with the double bubble Thank you for your pictures. This fold represents the edge of the muscle. It is very subtle in normal positioning and active with activation of the muscle. I would not recommend any additional treatment.

Answer: Questionable Double Bubble After Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. Thank you for adding pictures. It does help.It is difficult to tell if this is a true double bubble or simply an animation crease when you flex your pectoralis muscle. It is mostly noticeable when you raise your arms. The flex picture doesn't count because this is the muscle contracting and pulling. Many submuscular breast augmentations do this.Your breasts are large. Wear good support in your bras to prevent this from getting any worse. Underwire bras may be helpful. Give it a full year recovery and re-assess. If it is not bothering you, my inclination is to recommend not doing anything unless is gets worse and bothersome. To be sure, return to see your surgeon or see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Answer: Double b Thanks for the pictures, looking your pre operative pictures I would have had a long discussion about goals and expectations, you had great healthy anatomy but your breasts were deflated but the nipple didnt drop so the majority of the skin was below the nipple, I think you have a great result and I cant tell if that line is the muscle or if its the old fold. Either way unless it really bothers you I would suggest to leave it alone

Answer: Double bubble/fold? Only when arms are raised or laying down? Yes a very minor indentation due to edge of pect muscle. But in general terms a GREAT result! I recommend rigotomies with nano fat grafts to correct. Fee $2,000.

Answer: Double bubble Yes, you're right - that is a double bubble. It's the difference between your original infra-mammary fold (where the breast tissue meets the chest wall) and your new one - either created by your surgeon or by the weight of the implant stretching the skin under the breast. Your natural fold has a tendency to keep its own shape even when the implant slides down the chest - this area where the implant peeks out below your original fold is the bubble. This will require a surgery to correct - there is no emergency about this at all. In fact, you might decide you never want it corrected. I would suggest, however, that you let your surgeon know this happened and discuss alternatives even if you don't proceed. Occasionally, we will offer a bit of a discount if correction is needed, depending on what exactly transpired, but the discussion has to be timely (like now) and the offer (if given) usually expires in a certain time period (6-12 mo.). But know that your results are otherwise lovely!
