Breast augmentation and the space between the breasts
Breast augmentation is enhancement of the natural appearance and shape of the breast. The variation in chest shape, breast shape and size, can be considerable and you can begin to appreciate the differences after viewing many breast augmentation results on the web.
Some chests are broad, and some breasts will have a wider distance between the nipples with less cleavage. In order for augmentation to appear natural, the implant must fit and contour the natural breast, hand in glove if you...

Women just HATE gaps between their breasts!
Almost every patient says to me that they don't want the wide gap between their breasts. Rarely, if ever, is the problem due to the surgeon simply placing the implants too wide.
It is almost invariably due to some combination of : a prominent breast bone that somewhat sticks forward, a rib cage that is angled in such a way that the breasts point out to the sides rather than straight ahead, and very little fat overlying the breast bone.
The biggest mistake surgeons and patients make is...

Breast implants. No one wants the big gap in between.
There is a dynamic interaction between hard tissues, (chest wall, sternum, etc), soft tissues, (the breast tissue), and the implants themselves. Often the surgeon will aggressively dissect out the mid-line between the breasts, but the body will pull the implants apart.
During the consultation, review with your doctor your particular anatomy. Is your chest like a bird or a valley? How far apart and what shape are your breasts now? Together you can then...

Factors influencing cleavage
There isn't clear consensus on what constitutes great "cleavage" or a close distance between the breast mounds, however most of my patients neither want "butt boobs" or the "grand canyon". To a certain extent, a woman's anatomy, including the width of the breast bone, the shape of the chest wall and the "lie" of the nipples all contribute. An experienced surgeon can guide the choice of implant style and volume, preop and also use excellent...

Gap after breast implants can usually be avoided.
Hi.
I don't agree with some of my colleagues about cleavage. In most patients, the distance between the breasts with breast implants is determined by good surgical technique.

Gaps in cleavage
The gap in cleavage is due to your anatomy. The pectoral muscle inserts into the sternum in different ways for different individuals. This can only be "cheated" a bit with the implants.

Breast Cleavage After Breast Augmentation
This is a great question because a lot of women don't understand why they don't have cleavage after breast augmentation. The answer is that all women have an anatomically set medial boarder of the breasts or area over the breast bone. So on some women this boarder can be very close together and therefore after augmentation they have good cleavage.
However, on other women this distance can be quite wide, 3-4 cm. So after surgery this distance is still there and the only thing that will...

Breast Cleavage, Implant Placement, and Body Type
The answer to this question is not as simple and straight forward as it may seem. Breast Augmentation can result in the gap being larger, smaller, or about the same as before surgery. If a narrowing of this gap is desired, usually placing the implants above the muscle allows the surgeon to narrow the cleavage gap to a certain degree. Placing the implant under the muscle substantially limits this capability because the area where the muscle attaches to the chest wall becomes effectively the...

Gap Between Breast Implants
Patients with a rounder rib cage often have breasts that naturally lie or point outwards. The width of the breastbone may vary as well, and smaller or narrower breasts will have more space between them.
Keep in mind that your surgeon can "remodel the house" and make your breasts fuller, but not "move the whole house" to a new place on the hill!
