Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs It Possible to Get a Good Amount of Cleavage?
I am 20 years old, no kids, 5'9, 130 pounds, 34A. I went to a plastic surgeon and he said I will need 350cc in my right and 400cc in my left to even them out and bring me to a C cup. He said I can get cleavage with a push up bra. But I was wondering how accurate do you think he is? I really want cleavage more than anything but I'm not sure if it's possible with my body style. What is your expert opinion?

Cleavage after augmentation
The shape of your breasts would not allow for much cleavage without a bra. Your breasts are a little wide and project laterally. This has everything to do with your breast development and the shape of your ribcage.
Breast augmentation will give you a larger, fuller version of your current breasts. Trying to achieve a lot of cleavage without a bra would be a surgical mistake. Implants placed too close to the midline would only cause your nipples to project...

Breast implants and cleavage
Based on your photos it will be very difficult to obtain cleavage with breast implants. Your breasts are located far apart on your chest wall which makes cleavage less likely to occur; however, the distance between your breasts will be closer. This will make cleavage possible with a good bra. If your surgeon attempts to place the implants too close to each other, it can result in a very unnatural appearance.
Best wishes,

Is It Possible to Get a Good Amount of Cleavage from breast implants?
Dear Sacramento2047,
I agree with the prior responses you have received.
This is a very common request from patients considering a breast augmentation.
As you have already read, the amount of cleavage you will obtain after the placement of the breast implants is somewhat unpredictable. It really depends on one's anatomy. This is especially the case in subpectoral augmentations. In these cases we depend on how the muscle is positioned, or attatched...

Cleavage is mostly anatomy-dependent, but larger implants can help!
With your present breast position and size (no implants), as well as the outward slope of your ribcage, if you want cleavage you likely require a bra that pushes your breasts inward, and you probably require bra inserts ("chicken cutlets") to give you more volume to push towards the center.
With breast implants, you must have them positioned properly behind the nipple areola complex--you can't just put them close to the center to create cleavage when the nipple/areola...

Cleavage Defined By Your Anatomy
Every woman who undergoes breast augmentation wants a good cleavage result afterwards, but everyone is different. It really depends on the anatomy. If someone has a large space between there breasts naturally, then it is very hard to get the breasts musch closer together, even with wider implants. If you violate the natural tissues too much between the breasts, the tissues can weaken over time and lead to problems. In your case, based on your photographs, you will...

Cleavage
Cleavage is a matter of the anatomy and choice of implants. However, implants can only cheat so much. The anatomy blocks you out in most cases if you are very wide.

Cleavage after Breast Augmentation
Thank you for the question.
Your anatomy (relatively wide space between the breasts) may limit how close the medial breast folds ( cleavage) will be after breast supplementation surgery. However, using gentle implant pocket dissection technique and the appropriate size/model of breast implant, significant improvement of the cleavage area is definitely achievable.
It is important to have your surgery performed by a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who...

Natural appearing breast augmentation with cleavage
Unfortunately the most commonly used type of implants (high profile) and the most common type of placement ( submuscular/dual plane) cannot deliver the natural 'tear drop' effect or cleavage that you desire. Leaving the origination of the pectoralis major medially intact in submuscular placement ensures that the implant cannot be medial enough to look natural, and a flat plateau is left centrally. There are also big problems associated with anatomic implants placed in...

Breast Implants
Implants can only do so much. I would discuss your concerns and expectations with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. You need enter into surgery knowing that you will probably still be purchasing push-up bras to obtain cleavage, Best wishes!

You have a wide sternum
The space between your breasts is too wide and implants no matter how big will fix it. I offer my patients fat grafting at the time of the augmentation to enhance the cleavage. This is done only over the cleavage area and not to make the breast bigger.
