What Size Implant for a Revision to Get More Cleavage While Still Looking Natural?

I had 350cc gel implants put in 6wks ago (was a 34AA prior to). The dr did an amazing job, however I expected/hoped to be a little bigger/have more cleavage. I have a small frame so the dr is hesitant to do a revision but at my urging, suggested a 600cc high profile to maintain the same diameter. I was thinkin 500cc moderate plus myself, as I am worried how high profile will appear. What size is recommended to get me the add'l cleavage I want while keepin as natural a look as possible?

Cleavage

Cleavage is predicated on two things, the width of the implants and the patients anatomy. If the anatomy causes the muscles to insert widely onthe sternum, then nothing will get them as close as probably you would like. If you force the issue too much you will develop symmastia.

Some women have a wide breast bone and therefore a wider cleavage. Breast implants do not make this space between the breasts more narrow. This may sound funny but the best way to evaluate where your natural... more

High profile versus moderte plus silicone gel implants.

Implants and cleavage

The only way you will get more cleavage is with a maximally wide implant for your frame, so staying in the same width and just going up in profile probably won't work unless your current implants have already maxed out the width. In addition, with your body size, 500-600 cc implants in either moderate plus or HP will in no way "look natural" so please give up that idea as it only causes confusion and just focus on the "look" you want, whether it is natural... more

Implant dimensions important for cleavage

Without knowing more no one is in a better position that your own surgeon to make a recommendation. In general, the emphasis on base diamter is appropriate. If the implant has a narrow base then the separation between the breasts can be too large, which is what most women don't want with the cleavage area. High profile implants are designed to maximize volume on a narrow base. Because of the greater projection, they tend to look less natural. The discussion with your surgeon should... more

Impossible to answer over the internet WITHOUT photos! And ONLY 6 weeks after first operation, why the hurry? Please obtain additional opinions before doing this very risky EARLY revision. From MIAMI Dr. B
