I had my BA in may 2021 and haven’t been happy with the results. I got 500cc mentor HP silicone in my R, 400cc mentor HP silicone in my L. I have had pain/uncomfortable in L since beginning, and some tenting in between breasts. I wear a bra 24/7. PS doesn’t seem concerned. But I am super embarrassed by the look of them, this isn’t what I paid over $10,000 for. Can this be fixed? It effecting my self esteem majorly. I was self conscious about my breast before but now I don’t even want to see em

Answer: Double Bubble Correction Sorry to hear about your unhapppiness. It is never easy when someone doesn’t achieve the desired outcome from surgery. In your case, it looks like you are seeing the actual breast tissue delineation off the implant when you move/flex. It can happen if the implant doesn’t fill in the soft tissues and take up enough space, or a lift isn’t performed to address some natural ptosis. There are a number of ways to correct this but without an in-person consultation it is hard to say what will work best for you. I would address this with your surgeon or go for a second opinion with a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.

Answer: Double bubble Hello, this is a double bubble complication. It needs to be operated again. It is necessary to change the implant pocket plain where the implant is placed through the same incision line.

Answer: Double bubble There are several causes of double bubble deformity following breast augmentation. One common cause is inferior malposition (falling) of the breast implant below the inframammary fold (breast crease), which is what appears to have happened in your photos. Correction of double bubble deformity due to falling of the implant below the breast crease must achieve the following goal: repositioning of the implant within the natural boundaries of the breast above the breast crease. This can be achieved by using a new implant pocket, smaller implants, strategically placed sutures, biologic mesh support, or a combination thereof. Using smaller implants is an important consideration as smaller implants tend to impart less stress on the boundaries of the breast because they are smaller in diameter and lighter in weight. However, this strategy must be balanced against your breast size goals and the potential need for a breast lift.
