Reasons for the appearance of the "Double Bubble" effect
In the early stages. The appearance of a double fold in the submammary region in the first days after breast
augmentation may be the result of a medical error. Either the specialist incorrectly selected the shape and size
of
the endoprosthesis, or resorted to an erroneous technique for performing the operation. For example, he removed
an
excess amount of adipose tissue, which subsequently led to the prolapse of the implant. In this case, one should
not
exclude the likelihood of the "Double bubble" effect due to natural reasons. For example, non-compliance with
the
recommendations of a specialist during the recovery period. Refusal to diet, reduce physical activity, wear
compression underwear - all this can quickly lead to a change in the shape of the bust.
In the later stages. One of the reasons for the delayed Double Bubble (1-10 years after the operation) is chest
trauma. Others include a sharp weight loss, hormonal changes, aging, leading to a decrease in tissue elasticity
and
the formation of a "waterfall effect". With the latter, the areola and nipple descend below the line of their
normal
location. There are cases when a double fold on the chest occurs as a result of endoprosthesis rejection.
Normally,
it is covered with a thin capsule. In pathological conditions, the implant is surrounded by dense tissues that
exert
pressure on it and provoke it to move downward - into a zone of less resistance.
Who is at risk?
Every woman can make breast augmentation surgery Turkey and face the problem of complications. However, most
often,
the tendency to form the "Double Bubble" effect occurs in patients with:
-
the tubular form of the mammary glands - a breast with an excessively narrow base, large areoles, an
overestimated
location of the submammary fold against the background of a large volume of glandular tissue in the region
of the
upper pole;
-
cone-shaped glands - a breast with a wide / standard base, which narrows as it approaches the nipples
directed
forward or to the sides;
- normally formed mammary glands, having such an anatomical feature as a high chest fold;
-
congenital, pronounced asymmetry of the mammary glands, requiring careful selection of the shape, size and
location
of the endoprosthesis.
Whether you belong to one of these categories, you can find out at an appointment with a specialist. It is
included
in the list of mandatory to undergo before the procedure for breast enlargement or reduction.
Why is a double fold dangerous after breast augmentation?
First of all, a violation of the aesthetics of the body. Causing the opposite effect, it manifests itself in the
form:
- displacement of the breast - the imposition of one breast on the second;
- the appearance of additional roundness - an increase in the volume of the bust;
- "Waterfall effect" - prolapse of the mammary gland together with the alveolar-nipple area;
- contouring the implant - an arbitrary shift of the endoprosthesis up, down, to the right or left side;
-
asymmetry of the mammary gland - the absence of signs of the same location of the mammary glands relative to
each
other.
Any of these forms of complications requires surgical correction. And this is additional money, time, stress and
pain.
Also, a double fold becomes the cause of psychological problems. Instead of admiration at the sight of her
breasts,
a woman feels disgust. Constantly feeling discomfort, she begins to experience difficulties in relationships
with
partners. Especially in those moments when it comes to sex.
Methods for bust correction
The effect of "Double bubble" can be eliminated only by repeated surgical intervention. What it will be depends on the
individual characteristics of the patient and the variant of manifestation of the complication of mammoplasty. The
clinic (the breast enhancement cost for the operation in each medical institution are different) does not change.
Anterior capsulotomy
This method of correction is resorted to when the cause of the formation of a double fold is mammary fibrosis.
It
involves the execution of an incision and removal of fibrous formations around the prosthesis, which provoke its
displacement relative to its normal position. It is not required to replace the implant during this procedure.
However, it needs to be returned to its place and reshaped in accordance with the anatomical features of the
bust.
Carrying out lipolifting procedure
This method of removing a double fold is relevant when there is a deficiency of adipose tissue in the submammary
zone of the patient`s body. It involves taking a biomaterial (from the inner surface of the thigh, back or
abdomen),
cleaning it and introducing it as an autologous graft into the breast area to give it the desired shape and
volume.
The fat used for lipolifting is not rejected and is safe to use. However, it only achieves a temporary effect.
After
a while, the procedure needs to be repeated.
Replacing a deformed implant with a new one
This method solves the problem of the wrong choice / installation of a low-quality endoprosthesis. It is also
the
only correct one in case of a patient`s allergy to the components of the implant. As a rule, this procedure is
accompanied by the replacement of one prosthesis with another. However, there are exceptions. So, some women
decide
to carry out explantation - removal of the implant without replacement (after 3 months, a breast lift is
performed,
better known as mastopexy).
How to prevent the double bubble effect?
Experts advise to study in detail the material on this problem. It is recommended to pay special attention to
the
causes of double folds. In particular, with a question about the latter, you can contact the surgeon at whom you
plan to operate.
Choosing a trusted clinic
The high success rate for mammoplasty depends on which specialist you prefer. Remember: only a qualified
physician
with experience will be able to choose the most acceptable variant of implants, correctly determine the area of
the
endoprostheses, the type of surgery required and the type of incision. How much is breast
uplift cost is a secondary
issue. The reputation, technical equipment of a medical institution, the frequency of complications and other
factors that can affect the quality of service are important.
Undergo a complete medical examination
Before having a mammoplasty, you need to make sure that you are completely healthy. For this, specialists
prescribe
to patients a referral for the delivery of a coagulogram, CBC, biochemical blood test, determination of HCV,
HBV, RW
markers, blood group and Rh factor. Fresh ECG results are also required. Compulsory for the passage is
fluorography
(if its term has expired), ultrasound examination of the mammary glands and veins of the lower extremities with
the
provision of the opinion of a narrow specialist.
Compliance with specialist recommendations
During the rehabilitation period, you should strictly follow the recommendations of a specialist. In particular,
take prescribed medications, process surgical sutures and skin of the mammary glands, practice wearing
compression
underwear (usually 2 months). It is important to avoid physical activity, sleeping on your stomach for the first
4
weeks. It will not be superfluous to give up alcoholic beverages and smoking, which negatively affect the
process of
tissue repair and their adaptation to foreign inclusions.
One minute afterword
Any surgical intervention carries the risk of complications. Mammoplasty is no exception. So, for example, after
it
is carried out, patients may experience a double bubble fold. However, whether it appears or not depends largely
on
the quality of the breast augmentation procedure. If you give preference to professionals, the risk of
complications
is reduced to almost zero.
