How can I get more cleavage?

I am pretty comfortable with the size of my breasts, but I really wish they were fuller in the upper pole so I would have more cleavage. I wouldn't mind maybe going up a cup size or two (currently a 32C), but my main concern is increasing my cleavage.

In my experience, high profile breast implants are more likely to increase breast cleavage than low profile breast implants. The surgeon is also able to place the implants closer to the cleavage area and avoid creating the breast implant pocket too far laterally (toward the side). If the pocket is too large or... more

Hi! 1)  Breast implants have to be centered under your nipples. 2)  If your nipples point too far outward, then it is hard to increase cleavage with implants. 3)  Otherwise, breast implants will increase your cleavage.  And they can always give you upper fullness.

I would have to say that an implant is in order.  As implants increase in size, they tend to increase in projection more than projection.  You may want to look into "low profile" implants which will give you larger diameter with less projection. Silicone implants will tend to give less... more

A: Cleavage can be difficult to achieve in some cases

When implants are placed below the muscle the degree of cleavage or separation of the breasts in the midline is dependent upon the width of the breast bone.  A patient with a wide breast bone along with a rib cage that slants outward will have a difficult time achieving much cleavage especially if there... more
