Hello doctors, my last augmentation surgery (2022) involved replacing to larger implants(Med 510cc both) and fixing double-bubble. Almost immediately after I saw reoccurrence of d-b in the same location (under left breast) even though same Surgent placed GalaFlex mesh and It didn’t work to prevent d-b. Can I fix d-b without main surgery and anesthesia? What is the chance I will have db again? Can I lift breasts from armpits, I don’t want vertical scars on breasts. Thank you

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Your implants had to be placed low because your breasts were low and this has resulted in the double bubble. The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breasts No, the breasts cannot be lifted with the armpit incision. With a double bubble, you need to go smaller. Your implant is too large and heavy for your tissue and sags down. Looking at your photos, the implants are too large for your breast base. Smaller implants are lighter and stay in place better. You might need more mesh. Your tissue would probably do much better with 350-400 cc implants, but not larger. The bigger the implant, the more stretching and thinning occurs to your own tissue and the less your tissue will support.
