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

Because the double bubble groove is close to the nipple-areola, I suspect that the issue may be adherence of the muscle where it was detached. This occurs with dual plane placement, and you can diagnose it simply by observing when contracting your pectoral muscle. If the groove pulls up, it is animation deformity. That requires muscle re-attachment. You may also need a lift.

The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

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.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've had with your implants. From your photos it appears you will need surgical intervention to correct the look. It appears part of the correction may include a lift as well. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for an evaluation.

The cause of double bubble is a loss of the fold of the breast. The implant has pushed under the natural crease of the breast. To correct this the implant has to be removed and the fold reconstructed. From your photos it appears that you also need a breast lift. I would recommend repairing the fold and doing a lift. I would then add an implant after the lift has healed. This will give you the most predictable results. Unfortunately you will need two surgeries. Good luck

So sorry for the poor results. I would like to see the before photos to see if you had an analomy in your breasts to begin with. Now you need a few revision operations. Best to virtual consult with...
