The simple answer is maybe breast implants can help

David J. Levens, MD 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.

Your baseline cleavage, or inversely, the degree of breast separation,  is a major determinant to the degree of cleavage achievable postoperatively.  The surgeon can dissect closer to the midline but must be cognizant of overly thinning the tissues and potentially creating symmastia ("unibreast"), a very difficult problem to correct.

Your hi-profile implants are the narrowest of the three profiles (hi, moderate plus and moderate), therefore less likely to yield cleavage.  Yes, you could consider revision with more dissection toward the midline and placement of a wider- based implant.

You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
