Fixing Double Bubble
You’ve just had a boob job and after a couple days, you notice something strange. Really strange…
It looks like you have four breasts!
Also known as double bubble or bottoming out, this undesirable contour is definitely a problem that has to be corrected. Double bubble can happen for a variety of reasons:
A breast implant placed submuscularly may be set firmly in place, however the patient’s own natural breast tissue may sag below it, creating a bottoming out effect. This can gradually correct itself, however it usually takes (precious) time.
An inframammary fold (the crease where the breast meets the rest of the body) that does not modify itself to accommodate the breast implant. The original inframammary fold will then remain while a new one forms for the breast implant. To correct this problem, surgery may be necessary.
Breast implants that are placed poorly.
Double bubble can happen to one or both of the breasts. If you don’t like how your post-breast augmentation breasts look, contact your surgeon asap!
