Is this double bubble? Why is my implant shaped this way? (photo)

Question

I need help understanding why my implants/ breast is shaped this way.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

It appears you have 2 creases: one is the new inframammary fold and two is the old inframammary fold.  This is what is giving you the creased appearance.  The problem is not with the implant.  You will need a revision to correct this.

Best Wishes,

Dear Terrific477480,

I understand your concern. Based on your photo, it looks like there is a chance that you have double bubble. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

The base of the implant is not at your natural fold. This may be somewhat high, but I am unable to tell with this angle of your photo. Please go back to your surgeon.
