I have double bubble in both of my breasts - what can be done? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. There is no question that you have been botched. I would question whether your surgeon was even a plastic surgeon. I have taken on difficult cases very similar to yours with excellent outcomes. You definitely would need a pocket revision-capsulorrhaphy/capsulotomy, implant exchange, and breast lift. The good news is you can have an excellent result. Best wishes to you.

Dear valeriegoo,
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.
