The Double Bubble

Question:

Could you please explain exactly what the Double Bubble is and why it can occur? Also, after surgery to correct it will it be unnoticeable, and will it re appear later?

Answer:

Double bubble is a term used when a breast enlargement is perfrormed with an implant, but the skin and breast tissue do not draped evenly over the breast implant. The result is the appearance of a mound of breast tissue sitting on top of a breast implant, thus the "double bubble". The problem can be avoided by using the correct style of implant to address the width of the breast mound, and the implant volume the patient needs to achieve the desired. This can mean that a larger implant than the patient desires may be needed to fill the loose skin, and if that is the case then a breast lift may be needed to evenly locate the breast tissue over the implant.
