I am one week post op now and both my breasts have a slight double bubble effect. Can people please advise if this will resolve? I have attached before photos also.
Answer: Double bubble From the look of your pre-op photos you were on the verge of needing a lift and implants, and I suspect you had quite tight skin around your breast crease (possibly even a constricted lower pole). However a lift involves much more scarring, and I think you and your surgeon have made the right decision in opting for implants only as it has resulted in a nice shape. However your surgeon has needed to drop the breast crease in order for the nipples to remain centered over the implant, and for the implant not to ride too high which could then give a waterfall/snoopy-nose deformity. I don't consider this to be a true double-bubble deformity, as the implants have not dropped by one week, but are where your surgeon placed them. The indentation is your old breast crease. With time this should stretch out and become less visible, but sometime as small indentation does remain. However I think this is preferable to the scarring that would have been required with a breast lift.

Answer: Post-Op double Bubbling Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure! You are still very early in the healing process and should expect several changes within the next several weeks. Your breasts are not full heeled and settled in their final placement until around the 3 month mark of healing. Good luck and congratulations again!

Answer: Will a double bubble resolve? Whether or not this will improve with time really depends mostly upon whether or not your surgeon released the underlying attachments of that fold at the time of surgery. If one is going to lower a breast fold, it is important to treat that underlying tissue to make sure that the weight of the implant will stretch out that area over the ensuing months. Only your surgeon knows the full details of the procedure. Keep in close contact with him or her and wear a supportive bra to prevent implant descent. Best of luck!

Answer: Double bubble Ask your surgeon if your right inframammary fold was lowered. It appears that it was. Sometimes you see the double bubble in cases like yours. The implant will continue to descend over approximately three months. Nothing to do now, but you may need a revision in the future if this doesn't resolve. You should follow up with your surgeon and follow their recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: 1 week postop. Will my double bubble resolve itself? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. In order to accomodate your implant your surgeon lowered your original breast crease and this is contributing to the double bubble effect you see. With time this should stretch out and resolve but only time will tell. Hang in there and allow your results more time to mature.
