Hello, double bubble breast contour problems can arise due to surgical factors but the person's anatomy and implant choice also contribute.  Without more information it is not possible to comment whether this was due to a problem with your surgeon's technique.

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

and its usually best to let someone know they are likely to have one when doing the consultation.  Asymmetry and contour irregularities should be on everyone's consent form, including yours.  As for litigation, your statute of limitations has likely passed but its bothersome to hear your feelings about being ignored by your surgeon.   Find a surgeon that gives complimentary consultations just to find out what your options are and for confirmation as to just how bad your double bubble is.  After that, what you wish to do will be your choice.

In my opinion "double bubble" can be the result of placement and/or type of implant used as well as surgical planning. Please seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon

This is a legal question no one here, unless they are a lawyer as well as plastic surgeon, can answer that for you.
