Elimination of the appearance of double folds in the lower part of the chest

Double Babble Breast Correction

Any surgery may not go according to plan. This also applies to breast augmentation. We can talk about the so-called Double Babble. Double Babble after mammoplasty is an aesthetic complication that occurs due to technical errors in the process of breast augmentation and / or if the patient violates the rules of the rehabilitation period. The staff of the clinic of Andrey Kharkov are able to correct this defect.

Reasons for the development of Double Babble

Double Babble is a name derived from an English phrase that translates as “double fold” or “double bubble”. This name hides the essence of the problem: the silicone implant goes down and appears under the breast (submammary) fold. Simultaneously with the natural line of the mammary glands, another contour appears.

Double Babble is a defect that can appear  in early or late stages.

In the early stages, the occurrence of this defect is associated with:

• Incorrectly selected implants.
• Insufficient professionalism of a plastic surgeon.
• Improper installation of implants.
• Initial asymmetry of the breast folds. This is a consequence of the fact that it was incorrectly corrected by a plastic surgeon.

In addition, excessive fat removal from the lower breast can be performed during the mammoplasty process. It is very likely that in the future this will provoke the development of a double fold. Also, the development of Double Babble can occur if the patient doesn’t follow all the recommendations of the plastic surgeon regarding the rehabilitation period.

In the later stages, the defect develops in cases when:

• The implant is displaced in the “pocket”.
• The mammary gland “slides” from the implant for one reason or another.
• The chest at the lower pole is underdeveloped.
• Implants are not selected correctly.
• A fibrous capsule has grown around the implant (the capsule begins to squeeze the implant, thereby provoking its displacement).

Such problems most often occur in patients who have a tubular breast shape, congenital asymmetry of the breast or submammary folds.

The above problems can be corrected only with the help of surgical intervention.

Features of the surgical intervention

The features of the surgical intervention depend on the degree of deformity. The duration of the operation directly depends on this. On average, the operation takes about 45 minutes.

If we are talking about minimal deformation, that is, the fold is not very evident, you can get rid of it and restore the breast contour through the use of lipofilling, that is, fat tissue transplantation. Although it is also a surgical intervention,  it is several times less traumatic than traditional mammoplasty. For such a transplantation, cells are taken from the abdomen or thigh.

If the effect of Double Babble is very evident, it is impossible to get an excellent result without surgery. Depending on the reason of the defect, one or a few of the following manipulations may be required.

Correction of the so-called “waterfall effect”

This is a volumetric surgery, which is similar in technique to a breast lift. During the operation, the excess amount of tissue in the lower part of the gland is excised. In this case, the surgeon moves the nipple-areola complex higher. The cuts are shaped like a keyhole or anchor. The scars are hidden under the mammary gland and rise vertically to the nipple from the breast fold.

Replacement of implants

A plastic surgeon replaces implants with more suitable size and shape. If the case is especially difficult, complete removal of the implants is performed.

Moving the breast implant up

Its fixation is carried out using special sutures. They act as natural connective tissue fibers. They perfectly keep the position and shape of the bust. If necessary, plastic surgery of the lower pole of the mammary glands can be performed simultaneously.

Correction of the consequences of the development of capsular contracture

This is a rather complex surgical intervention, which involves the removal of not only capsular contracture, but also fibrous tissue. It forms around the implant. During the work of the plastic surgeon, the implant is removed. In the future, it returns to its place or it is replaced with a more suitable one. If there is a risk of relapse, it is removed completely.

Correction of the lower part (pole) of the breast

The incisions are made in such a way that the skin tension is reduced in the area of ​​the breast fold.

The next stage is to move the soft tissues down and “cover” the protruding part of the implant. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Rehabilitation after Double Babble correction

The rehabilitation period after Double Babble is short and easy enough. The patient will practically not experience any pain. The swelling may remain for some time. If hematomas occur, they go away on their own in 2-3 weeks.

In addition, the patient must wear a compression garment for 4 weeks. The total duration of the rehabilitation period is 10-12 days. After the correction, the sutures are not removed. To protect herself from the recurrence of complications, the patient must strictly follow  all the recommendations of the plastic surgeon. The final result will depend on this.
