My Breasts Are Too Far Apart, Will a Breast 'Lift' Help?

I'm a 10D or 8DD and feel they are too far apart, I can fit 3 fingers in the middle before the tissue begins to thicken. They are not saggy at all and I'm happy with the size. Is there such a thing as a breast lift inwards? How much would this cost and what are the options/complications? They look amazing in a push up bra but in a bikini they dissappear out the sides, any info would help :)

Should I Get a Mini Tummy Tuck or a Full? is There Any Non Surgical Options for Me? (photo)

So I had a baby 3 years ago and this completely ruined my stomach. I am 21 years old, I exercise regularly and have been trying EVERYTHING to get rid of this. Before pregnancy I was 115 lbs, I ended up weighing 180 lbs the day before delivery. Finally down to 133 lbs I am about ready to be able to wear a bikini. Is there any other options then surgery for me? I plan on having this done by june so please let me know soon!

A: Tummy tuck is essential after massive weight loss

A 47 lbs weighht loss results in hanging skin.  Only a FULL abdominoplasty would be able to correct this.  However, if you are planning additional pregnancies, the same thing may happen to you again.  Your weight may shoot up after pregnancy before it will drop and you will have hanging skin.  If you are planning no further children now is a good time for an abdominoplasty.  At the same time, you can undergo a sterilization procedure if desired.  Your other option is to wait.

Best of Luck,
