Hi! Your implant SIZE sounds right in your breast augmentation. Here are some other suggestions: 1) You can definitely get more cleavage with a revision, by dissecting the implant pockets a little closer together. And don't worry; you will not get a uni-boob. It is just a matter of... more
Advice for achieving good cleavage with breast implants?
I'm 24 years old and I had breast implants last year, from 32A to a 32D with 310 cc high profile, 11cm wide, 5.4 projection breast implants.
Although I'm 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. So because of that, I went to see the surgeon again and he said he will be happy to change them. The new ones they said it will be either 385cc or 450cc with 12.5cm wide and 5.1 projection.
I have done a research on the internet and I am affraid not to end up with a "uni-boob" or for them to be too far on the side. Also, I am a bit concerned with the position of the nipple. Looks like its a bit too high. Can anything be done about this next time? Are 385 cc or 450 to big for me? Is 12.5cm too wide? Please advise me what you think and if you have any additional thoughts or I missed out on something, let me know. Thank you very much.

If your breast bone is depressed, your breasts can end up closer than... more

If you are UK based, I will assume that you had silicone gel implants, as gels are widely used abroad. Here in the US we are starting to overcome the negative propaganda of the Moratorium, in which silicone gel implants were restricted. Given your original breast size "A" cup and... more
A: Implants need to be the appropriate width for your breast
The base width of your breast will determine the diameter of the breast implant. You are correct that you are at risk for creating a "uniboob", (also called symmastia), if the pockets extend too medially over the sternum in an effort to fit a larger implant. Your breasts may naturally be spaced apart... more

I have saline implants. I don't like that I can feel ripples, I don't have cleavage (I have to use a push up bra to achieve any cleavage) and is there surgery, or better yet any breast implants that can correct my nipples, they are not in the middle, the left points slightly to the left, and the right, to the right)also, i do not have a 'tail', my chest goes flat than 2 big round lumps for breasts (I was an A cup and went to a C cup)
