I have a B.A consultation coming up. I heard about double bubble & the implants moving to the arm pits. Can I ask the surgeon I choose to reinforce the pocket to prevent this from happening? Also would it be wise to go 100 ccs larger since it is going under the muscle?
Answer: Breast implant pocket support If you are concerned about double bubble or implant malposition, you can inquire about using an internal support device. I prefer Galaflex which is dissolvable and adds strength to the repair- it will be reabsorbed in 18 months and replaced with collagen.

Answer: Can I ask my surgeon to reinforce the pocket to prevent double bubble and the implants moving to the armpits? Surgical expertise and good judgment are the most important factors in preventing double bubble and implants moving to the armpits. Submuscular placement affords placement of smooth implants, less long term rippling, greater camouflage, and probably a reduction in tissue thinning over time.

Answer: Breast augmentation with accurate pocket placement to avoid double bubble and need for reinforcement For my patients, the first surgery sets the tone for the outcome and accuracy in technique and implant placement are very important. Anatomy also plays into this outcome and we frequently have to dance around this for a good result. We would reserve more complicated breast techniques for secondary surgeries, which are usually not necessary. Make sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon with breast experience.

Answer: Implants Do discuss your concerns with your surgeon, but I don't think extra reinforcement will be necessary. I would discuss what range of sizes best fits your frame and tissue, and avoid going beyond that range.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Consultation #breastaugmentation #breastimplants - During a breast augmentation consultation I personally discuss with my patients everything about the technical aspects of the procedure, potential complications, and the recovery process.
