I had a revision for a bottomed out implant done 6 months ago. The result was a very obvious double bubble and discrepancy between breast tissue and implant. I’m extremely unhappy with the result. My doc is suggesting I do a SECOND revision and stated maybe something could be done in office. Is this something that can be fixed? If so, what are the options?? I am sick and tired of having surgeries.

Answer: Double bubble Dear Nice657378, though rare, some women who undergo breast augmentation will develop a minor deformity known as a “double bubble,” in which additional folds appear underneath the breasts due to the implant accidentally shifting or contracting post-surgery. In most cases, the implant simply slipped too far down the chest wall and traveled behind the breast inframammary crease (the area where the lower breast meets the chest), instead of moving forward to fill the breast cavity. If left untreated, the lopsided implant will form unnatural indentations, resulting in an odd “four-breast effect” rather than the full, rounded chest the patient initially desired.
