Tuberous breasts surgery gone wrong? (Photos)

Question

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.

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

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!

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

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.

Thanks for the opportunity to answer this questions for you. It's too early to tell what your final result will be like at this point. I suggest you be more patient. 
Double bubbles do get better over time and many completely resolve. I suggest you follow closely with your plastic surgeon and use him/her as a resource to predict how well these will disappear over time. At this point, I think you're healing fine and you don't need to stress about this situation. If the folds are still visible after one year, switching to a tear drop or fat injections or both procedures are some options in your future. 
Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
