I had my surgery on 2nd March, i know it is soon to complain about the final result but I don' t think it is a good one. I got Eurosilicone round gel implants, 80% filled, 375 grams. I have the incisions under my armpits. My breasts have this double bubble look and my PS told mw to not worry because in a few months my breasts will look nice. Please let me know what do you think, I start to regret I did this surgery. Thank you.
Answer: Tuberous Breast Correction Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Your frustration is understandable however the breasts could change drastically in appearance as you heal and the previous folds slowly expand and smooth out. If this does not improve significantly you will need to speak with your Plastic Surgeon about options to further improve things in the future. Please allow at least 6 months to evaluate your results.All the best

Answer: Double bubble It appears that you do indeed have a double bubble deformity. Usually this will get somewhat better with time, depending upon how much release internally your surgeon did at the lower portion of the breast. It may not get better at all. Only time will tell, so keep in contact with your plastic surgeon as things evolve over the next 3-6 months. Best of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Tuberous Breast Thanks for your question and photos. It appears that you have a double bubble, with the original crease sitting above the lower border of the implant. It is too early to tell whether your appearance will improve, but I recommend that you give it time to settle and heal. It does appear that you had very discrete breast tissue pre operatively, and that you chose a fairly large implant. Both of these can increase the risk of double bubble. I suggest that you allow the surgery to heal and settle, and then discuss the concerns with your surgeon. Best Regards

Answer: Concerns Your concerns are valid and should be expressed to your plastic surgeon. The ultimate result is normally due to planning prior to the surgery, You have a double bubble that needs to be addressed but I would wait 3-6 months prior to any surgical revision.

Answer: Tuberous breasts surgery gone wrong? I do see your concern. Although it is too early to evaluate the final outcome of the procedure performed, I would be agree that you do have a "double bubble" present. A "double bubble" is a cosmetically undesirable circumstance for patients with breast implants, which occurs when the breast fails to take on the shape of the implant, resulting in the appearance of a visible line showing a separation between the bottom edge of the implant and the bottom edge of the natural breast. Sometimes, in situations like yours, the appearance of the breast improves over the course of the first several months; sometimes, additional surgery may be necessary to improve the outcome. There are several options when it comes to revisionary surgery to improve your outcome. One option is to eliminate the pull of the pectorals major muscle either by completely releasing it or by suturing the muscle back down, thereby placing the breast implants in the sub glandular position. Patients who choose to have breast implants placed in the sub glandular position should have enough breast tissue coverage to allow for this conversion. There are disadvantages of placing breast implants in the sub glandular position (such as increased risk of breast implant encapsulation) which should be considered as you make your decisions. Another maneuver that may be helpful is raising the inframammary fold using capsulorraphy techniques. Sometimes, depending on factors such as quality of skin along the lower breast poles, additional support provided by acellular dermal matrix or biosynthetic mesh may be very helpful. I have also found the use of acellular dermal matrix very helpful in cases where the skin/tissues are very thin and in cases of recurrent breast implant displacement. The acellular dermal matrix helps improve contour, improves irregularities caused by the underlying breast implant and/or scar tissue, and provides additional support ("sling" effect) for the breast implants. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.
