Double Bubble Deformity and Revision Breast Surgery
Double bubble breast deformity is a reasonably common deformity that Dr. Linder sees in his breast revision practice, associated with the implants superiorly retropositioned, meaning that the implant rises up and looks extraordinarily unnatural. The skin will often end up along the lower pole of the breast and will end up with a hanging appearance. This can usually be corrected by performing an open capsulectomy, removing and releasing all of the scar tissue, an inferior capsulotomy, releasing the capsule on the bottom of the breast so that the implant can fall to a normal position. If there is significant skin redundancy, a formal mastopexy using the Wise-pattern technique, that is skin around the nipple areola along the vertical plane and along the inframammary fold, or an anchor scar will be performed.
