Improving cleavage

Dr. Richard Baxter answers: Can breast implants be placed to make my breasts look closer together?

I have had a breast enlargement here in the UK, small frame and reasonably tall. Used to be 32aa and asked to go up to about a C cup, my surgeon inserted 300cc high profile cohesive gel implants, behind the muscle.

Although I am happy with the results and feel it was a good job, i wish they could appear slightly closer together, i struggle to get a good cleavage and in bikini tops for example, I can hardly see any outline of my breasts as they are far apart.

Is there anything that can be done such as a slightly wider implant? or go much bigger without risking looking top heavy and the implants starting to hang low, as I prefer the more high and perky look to suit my frame. Any advice would be appreciated.

There are a couple of things to consider in order to get the cleavage right:

  1. Most important I think is base diameter, so that there is the optimal space between the breasts while centering the implants in the natural foundation of the breast. With the right implant dimensions, some improvement can be acheived while still keeping the implants under the muscle.

  2. The other issue is cohesive implants, which are shaped rather than round, and firmer than other silicone implants (which are also "cohesive" but softer). Because the round implants are not as stiff, they will move together more with pushup bras and bikini tops.

The only way to get the implants to look closer in the midline is to use ones that are wider than what you have.  You might want to consider this in addition to maybe going down to a moderate plus profile so your breasts don't end up looking unnaturally large.
